Geronimo, the prominent Apache leader, primarily lived in the southeastern region of Arizona, particularly in areas around the Chiricahua Mountains. His territory included parts of what are now Cochise County and Graham County. Geronimo's life and leadership were closely tied to the rugged landscape of these mountains, which provided cover and resources for his people.
Geronimo was born in what is now known as Arizona when it was still part of Mexico.
Geronimo lived in both Arizona, and New Mexico. He was a leader of the Apache, and he fought against both Texas and Mexico.
