Also known as the “Wickedest Town in the West,” Jerome is now a thriving tourist and artist hub with a population of around 450 people. Jerome resides above what was once the largest copper mine in Arizona which was producing an astonishing three million pounds of copper per month. Today the mines may be silent, but Jerome has found new life as the largest ghost town in America and a bustling tourist destination.
