Bowie is in Southern Arizona . It is in Cochise County. The town is located in the San Simon Valley, just off of Interstate 10. Mountains surround Bowie with Mount Graham reaching 10,710 feet to the north, Peloncillo Range to the east, Dos Cabezas Range to the southwest and the Chiricahua Mountains to the south.
Overview:
Bowie is referred to as the "Garden in the Sun" because of the numerous crops that are grown in the surrounding area. The town sits at an elevation of 3,700 feet. The southwest desert climate has a winter low Temperature of 40 degrees and a summer high Temperature of 100 degrees. Bowie is a community of comfortable new homes, schools, churches and recreational activities in close proximity. It truly offers the good life for its people.
History:
In 1857, James Tevis became the agent for the Butterfield Overland Stage Line at Apache Pass, near where the town of Bowie is today. Apache Pass was a dangerous place, during this time. The Chiricahua Apaches were attacking anyone passing through the area. Tevis knew home of the Indian problems and he chose to befriend the Apache. This made travel easier for the stage line.
For a brief period Tevis left Arizona , only to return again in 1880. He went back to Apache Pass, where the stage stop had once been and this time opened a store. When Tevis learned of the Southern Pacific Railroad heading in his direction, he donated some land to the rail. Soon a town sprang up.
The town's name became quite a controversy. The citizens wanted to name it Teviston, but the railroad superintendent wanted it to be named Bean after himself. After bit of a discussion, the superintendent went ahead and named it Bean. Later on, the postmaster changed it to Treviston. Then Bean began calling it Bowie Station. Bowie is the namesake of nearby Fort Bowie. Finally in 1908, the name was officially changed to Bowie.
Today Bowie is unincorporated. Retirees make up most of the town's population. Farming, ranching and orchards including pistachios, grapes and pecans contribute to the economy.
Community Features:
One attraction that played an important part in southwest Arizona 's past is Fort Bowie. The Fort Bowie National Historic Site is a short drive from town. In the 1800's, Fort Bowie served as a regional fort in the fight against the Chiricahua Apaches. Visitors today can see the ruins. You will need to hike a mile and a half to the Visitor Station/Museum. The museum's focus is on the Indian Wars fought from 1862 to 1886, mining and the Butterfield Overland Trail.
There are several outdoor activities that offer lots of fun. The Chiricahua National Monument has a great visitor center that you will want to make as your first stop. Here you learn about the area and all the outdoor activities the monument has to offer its visitors. There are camping grounds and over 100 miles of hiking trails crisscrossing the Chiricahua Mountains. Hikers love the trails through the cool forests of pine, fur and spruce at the mountain summit. Chiricahua Wilderness includes the Chiricahua National Monument. The wilderness has multitude of hiking trails covering close to 300 miles. Nevertheless, your first stop should be the visitor center at the Chiricahua National Monument. It gives the best overview of this vast high country.
