Superior, Arizona

Superior was founded as a mining town for the Silver Queen and the later Magma mines. After 71 years of production, the Magma mine closed in August 1982 due to high operating costs and declining copper prices. Operations resumed in September 1990, but the mine closed again on June 28, 1996.
