Jerome was named for Eugene Murray Jerome, an investor who owned the mineral rights and financed mining there. Eugene Jerome never visited his namesake town. Local merchant and rancher William Munds was the first mayor. The town housed the workers in the nearby United Verde Mine, which was to produce over 1 billion dollars in copper, gold and silver over the next 70 years.
The mining Jerome was built on Cleopatra Hill above a vast deposit of copper. The Spanish followed, seeking gold but finding copper. Jerome grew rapidly from tent city to prosperous company town. The mines, the workers, and those who sought its wealth, formed Jerome’s colorful history…… Americans, Mexicans, Croatians, Irish, Spaniards, Italians, and Chinese made the mining camp a cosmopolitan mix that added to its rich life and excitement.
Jerome was the talk of the Territory, a boom town of its time. Changing times in the Territory saw pack burros, mule drawn freight wagons, and horses replaced by steam engines, autos, and trucks. Fires ravaged the clapboard town and landslides destroyed whole sections. Jerome was always rebuilt. Jerome’s mines finally closed in 1953.
=====
The Douglas Mansion has been a landmark in Jerome since 1916, when James S. Douglas built it on the hill just above his Little Daisy Mine. The home is now a museum devoted to the history of the Jerome area and the Douglas family. The museum features photographs, artifacts and minerals, a video presentation and a 3-D model of the town with its underground mines.
