Jerome, Arizona, was named after Eugene Murray Jerome, a wealthy industrialist and investor from the East Coast who invested in the copper mining operations in the area during the late 19th century. The town was established in 1883 as a mining camp and quickly grew into a bustling community due to the rich copper deposits found nearby. Jerome became one of the most significant copper mining towns in the United States, contributing to its historical significance. Today, it is known as a ghost town and tourist destination, reflecting its mining heritage.
