The county is in northeastern Arizona and is one of the largest
counties in the state. There are about 7.2 millions acres in the
county which is about 300 miles long. Today, Apache County has
11,211 square miles as it has had since 1895. But, originally, it
also included all of what is now Navajo County, and part of what
is now Gila County and Graham County. The Apache and Navajo Indian
Reservations make up more than 64 percent of the county area. |

Apache County was created on 24 February 1879, carved out
completely from Yavapai County. The first county seat at Snowflake
was temporary until an election could be held. Both Globe and St.
Johns had petitioned to have the county seat located in their
community. The election was held in November of 1879 with St.
Johns winning the privilege.
At one time, cattle and sheep
ranching were the main economic activities of Apache County, but
times have changed. Now the economy is more widely based with many
factions including, tourism, agriculture, construction, hunting,
fishing, lumbering, sales and more. |
