Cave Creek History
The town of Cave Creek began back in 1874, with William Rowe. Rowe was a miner, who discovered gold on Gold Hill, just northeast of what is now the town of Cave Creek. Soon, the Cave Creek Mistress Mine came into being.
You can still visit the Cave Creek Mistress Mine today. However, the mine is now called the Cave Creek Mistress Gold Mine and Rock Shop. The mines address is 45402 North Seven Springs Road. It is located about 10 miles from the intersection of Tom Darlington Road and Cave Creek Road. Visitors will be able to see what a gold mine looked like long ago.

From the towns early beginnings, Cave Creek has never lost its old west friendly feeling. Today, rustic shops, western boutiques, Native American arts and crafts, horse back riding ranches, restaurants, and cowboy bars make up a majority of Cave Creek Road.
