Gleeson is a ghost town situated in southeastern Cochise County, Arizona, United States.

[5] The Gleeson post office, established on October 15, 1900,[6] supported a town of about 500 people engaged primarily in copper mining, including veins of lead, silver and zinc.

[6] Though several families still live on the site,[4] Gleeson is, by all measures, a ghost town, with the last commercial venture a rattlesnake products store that closed in 2014.

Visitors can find the ruins of a hospital, a saloon, a cemetery, a jail, the foundation of the village school and evidence of the extensive mining in the surrounding hills near town.

[7] The Arizona Republic newspaper published an article on the town on January 12, 2014, stating that the jail has been renovated and now is a museum.
