List of ghost towns in Arizona

This is a partial list of ghost towns in Arizona in the United States. Most ghost towns in Arizona are former mining boomtowns that were abandoned when the mines closed. Those not set up as mining camps often became mills or supply points supporting nearby mining operations.

Conditions
Ghost towns can include sites in various states of disrepair and abandonment. Some sites no longer have any trace of buildings or civilization and have reverted to empty land. Other sites are unpopulated but still have standing buildings. Still others may support full-time residents, though usually far less than at their historical peak, while others may now be museums or historical sites.

For ease of reference, the sites listed here are placed into one of the following general categories.


 * Barren site
 * Site is no longer in existence
 * Site has been destroyed, covered with water, or reverted to empty land
 * May have a few difficult to find foundations/footings at most


 * Neglected site
 * Little more than rubble remains at the site
 * Dilapidated, often roofless buildings remain at the site


 * Abandoned site
 * Building or houses still standing, but all or almost all are abandoned
 * No population, with the possible exception of a caretaker
 * Site no longer in use, except for one or two buildings


 * Semi-abandoned site
 * Buildings or houses still standing, but most are abandoned
 * A few residents may remain


 * Historic site
 * Buildings or houses still standing
 * Site has been converted to a historical site, museum, or tourist attraction
 * Still a busy community, but population is smaller than its peak years
