Greenlee County Arizona - info, facts, communities

Greenlee County was formed from Graham County in 1909 as Arizona's 14^th county. It was named for Mason Greenlee, an early Clifton settler. Graham County felt they would lose revenue from Clifton if a new county was formed, so they opposed the division. The first county seat was Clifton. It has remained the seat since that time.
