Senorito is one of those small mining camps whose exact location is difficult to pinpoint. It started as a small copper mining camp in 1893 and served a population of about a hundred people. It did contain a store, a sawmill, a few houses, a crusher and a smelter. The ruins of one building and an ore chute mark its approximate location. Records indicate Senorito did have a post office that was discontinued in 1924.Courtesy Henry Chenoweth. SENORITO. Span. 'young gentleman, little master of the house'.
