Vulture City's post office was established on October 4, 1880, and Henry Wickenburg was the town's first postmaster.
Eighteen men were hanged on an ironwood tree located by the ruins of Henry Wickenburg's house.
The deposit was later sold to Benjamin Phelps, who represented a group of investors that eventually organized under the name of Vulture Mining Company.
The mine continued to produce at a decreased level until World War II, when it was permanently closed.
