Bellevue, Arizona

Bellevue is a ghost town in Gila County, Arizona, five miles (8.1 km) southwest of Miami.

The settlement was founded as a mining camp around 1906 when a post office was established.

The name of the founder is unknown though the town was built to harbor the Gibson Cooper Mine.

The population got as high 300 before 1927 when the post office closed and the settlement became a ghost town.

As of today, the concrete Gibson Cooper mill still stands, along with metal mining equipment.
