STATE HIGHWAY 86 & U. S. 80
BENSON, ARIZONA
Benson was founded in 1880 as the railroad
town for Tombstone. As early as 1860, how-
ever, its site was famous as the spot where
the old Butterfield stages crossed the San
Pedro. For years it was the American end of
the old Sonora Railroad, built by the Santa
Fe in 1882 to reach the harbor of Guaymas,
Sonora, Mexico. This road also served the
Tombstone Mines' large mills at Contention
City and was the nearest railroad connection
to Fort Huachuca.
