Tales of San Ramon
Welcome to Chiricahua County, Arizona
The Beautiful San Gabriel Valley
“A Warm and Comfortable Place to Live,”
Read the stories about the people of the San Gabriel Valley and the small town of San Ramon, the county seat of Chiricahua County, Arizona. The multivolume set of stories meander through time and culture to tell the multi-layered American folk stories of those who lived in this little slice of Arizona.
The county’s northern border is the Gila River that was in 1881, a flowing oasis of cool mountain water. The southern border was just beyond the Picacho Mountains. The Tortolita Mountains marked the eastern border with the Sayante Mountains on the western border.
On March 1, 1881, the Arizona Territorial legislature formed Chiricahua County from parts of Pinal and Pima counties. A petition went around the entire Chiricahua County getting 894 signatures demanding the legislature create a new county. A little-known fact, discovered by Godfrey Chalmer in 1936, was the area now known as Chiricahua County on had 273 inhabitants, including two black
cowboys, Mexicans and Tohono O’odham. The odd thing about the fraudulent petition no one knows for sure why there was a petition in the first place.
The other odd fact is that somehow the legislature misnamed the county. No one in the history of the San Gabriel Valley ever remembers the Chiricahua people of southeastern, Arizona even visiting the valley. This fact still angers many of the Tohono O’odham.
The county motto is, “Chiricahua County, A Warm and Comfortable Place to Live.”
