COMMENTS:
A big copper town REMAINS:Not much |
Once the home to over twelve hundred people, nothing remains of Leopold today. It once was the center of copper mining and the home of the Phelps Dodge Corporation. As the center of activity began to move from Leopold to its sister city, Tyrone, the town relinquished its post office and eventually died.Courtesy Henry Chenoweth. |
