| Tuweep was a small settlement serving the ranchers in the area around Mount Trumbull, esp. the Toroweap Valley. In July 2000, some Mormon vandals destroyed the church and the other buildings associated with the village, which had a post office from 1929 to 1950. (The vandals were apprehended, and eventually pleaded guilty.) Submitted by: Kurt Wenner |
