Fairbank Historic Townsite

Fairbank is a "ghost town" located within the San Pedro Riparian National Conservation Area (SPRNCA), along the San Pedro River. It was founded in 1882 when a railroad station was built here. Its life as a town began with the construction of a railroad in 1881, and it soon became an important depot as well as the closest railroad stop to Tombstone, then one of the largest western cities (15,000 in 1882). Originally called Junction City, Kendall, then Fairbank, it was officially named Fairbank…
