Located in Northeastern Arizona, the Town of Springerville is
at the heart of the growing southwest. Originally established in
1879, Springerville sits at an elevation of 7,000 feet. Growing
around Henry Springer’s trading post, the town was incorporated
in 1948. Along with it’s neighbor Eagar, both communities reside
in the Round Valley.
A variety of industries shape Springerville’s economic profile.
In the early days, cattle and sheep ranching were principal
economic activities, but these have gradually been replaced by
tourism, agriculture, construction, forestry, and retail sales in
support of the 2,000 local residents and an additional 9,000
residents that make up the trade area.
Springerville is home to the majority of commercial hotels,
motels and dining facilities in this part of the White Mountains.
Springerville is also home to Casa Malpais, a nationally
recognized archeological ruin, and is the start of the Coronado
Trail Scenic Byway, where you'll find the Madonna of the Trail, a
statue dedicated to the pioneer spirit of the settlers who
established the communities.
Combined with a mild climate and proximity to a wealth of outdoor
recreation year round, ranging from hunting and fishing to winter
skiing, Springerville is a haven for recreational enthusiasts in
Arizona and New Mexico.
