Located at the base of Cleopatra Hill, Clarkdale, Arizona is a former company town located in the Verde Valley. Founded by William A. Clark, the owner of one of Jerome, Arizona's largest copper mines, Clarkdale was one of the country's best "company" towns. The Town of Clarkdale is situated in the Verde Valley, located in the North Central part of Arizona. The Town was founded in 1912 and was the first planned community in the State of Arizona. Clarkdale was a "company town" owned by the United Verde Copper Company and provided housing and services for its employees who worked in the nearby smelter. Mining operations were discontinued in 1953 and Clarkdale was incorporated in 1957

Today the old smelter lies quiet and Clarkdale is best described as a bedroom community, it's downtown now occupied by antique shops and restaurants rather then grocery and hardware stores and meat markets.

There are many activities to keep you busy in Clarkdale. Take a trip to Jerome, ride the Verde Canyon Train, visit Tuzigoot National Monument, take a trip to Peck's Lake, Shop for antiques on Clarkdale's Main Street or just relax at one of the restaurants in town. Clarkdale is a sleepy little town that offers a lot.
