==Geography==
Globe is in southern Gila County at {{Coord|33|23|59|N|110|46|54|W|type:city}} (33.399858, −110.781570),<ref name="GR1">{{cite web|url=https://www.census.gov/geographies/reference-files/time-series/geo/gazetteer-files.html|publisher=[[United States Census Bureau]]|access-date=April 23, 2011|date=February 12, 2011|title=US Gazetteer files: 2010, 2000, and 1990}}</ref> in the valley of Pinal Creek, a north-flowing tributary of the [[Salt River (Arizona)|Salt River]]. [[U.S. Route 60 in Arizona|U.S. Route 60]] passes through the city, leading northeast through the [[Fort Apache Indian Reservation]] {{convert|87|mi}} to [[Show Low, Arizona|Show Low]], and west {{convert|87|mi}} to [[Phoenix, Arizona|Phoenix]]. The western terminus of [[U.S. Route 70 in Arizona|U.S. Route 70]] is in Globe at US 60 on the east side of town; US 70 leads southeast through the [[San Carlos Apache Indian Reservation]] {{convert|77|mi}} to [[Safford, Arizona|Safford]] and {{convert|2385|mi}} to its eastern terminus at [[Atlantic, North Carolina]]. [[Arizona State Route 77]] leads south from Globe {{convert|36|mi}} to [[Winkelman, Arizona|Winkelman]], and [[Roosevelt, Arizona|Roosevelt]] is {{convert|31|mi}} to the northwest via [[Arizona State Route 188|State Route 188]], which also provides a route to [[Payson, Arizona|Payson]], located along [[Arizona State Route 87|State Route 87]].

According to the [[United States Census Bureau]], the city of Globe has a total area of {{convert|47.1|km2|order=flip}}, of which {{convert|0.03|sqkm|order=flip|2}}, or 0.07%, is water.<ref name="Census 2010"/> The town of [[Miami, Arizona|Miami]] is {{convert|6|mi|0}} west of Globe's downtown. Globe, Miami, and the unincorporated areas nearby (including Inspiration, [[Claypool, Arizona|Claypool]] and [[Central Heights-Midland City, Arizona|Central Heights-Midland City]]) are commonly called "Globe-Miami".

==Climate==
Globe has a [[semi-arid climate]], characterized by hot summers and moderate to warm winters. Globe's arid climate is somewhat tempered by its elevation, however, leading to slightly cooler temperatures and slightly more precipitation than [[Phoenix, Arizona|Phoenix]] or [[Yuma, Arizona|Yuma]].

Summers in Globe are hot, with daytime highs generally between {{convert|90|and|100|°F|°C|abbr=on}}. High temperatures topping {{convert|100|°F|°C|abbr=on}} are not uncommon in July and August for Globe. Summertime lows are generally right around {{convert|65|°F|°C|abbr=on}}.

Wintertime highs usually average between {{convert|55|and|65|°F|°C|abbr=on}}, and lows tend to be right at or above freezing (32&nbsp;°F/0&nbsp;°C).

The all-time highest recorded temperature in Globe is {{convert|111|°F|°C|abbr=on}}, and it occurred on both June 27, 1990, and July 29, 1995. The lowest recorded temperature in the city is {{convert|12|°F|°C|abbr=on}}, which occurred the same year the first time the record high was reached—December 23, 1990.

About 8.8% of families and 11.4% of the population were below the poverty line, including 14.8% of those under age 18 and 8.4% of those age 65 or over.

==Economy==
In 1875, prospectors found [[silver]] in the San Carlos Apache Reservation, including an unusual globe-shaped silver nugget. In just four years, the silver began to give out, but by then [[copper]] deposits were discovered. In the 1900s, the Old Dominion Copper Company in Globe ranked as one of the world's richest. The Old Dominion closed in 1931, and mining operations moved to nearby Miami.<ref>Gila County Historical Museum website</ref>

Globe's economy remains heavily dependent on the service industry, and the mining industry, and {{As of|2008|lc=y}} the city was home to one of the few operating copper [[smelter]]s in the United States.<ref>Rudolf, John Collin. "Copper's Every Dip Is Felt in Arizona." ''New York Times.'' November 27, 2008.</ref>

Major employers in Globe include Gila County, [[Arizona State Prison Complex – Florence]], [[Life Care Centers of America|Heritage Health Care Center]], [[Globe Unified School District]], and [[Gila Community College]].

==History==
[[Besh-Ba-Gowah]], about one mile south of Globe, was occupied by [[Salado culture|Salado]] populations between AD 1225 and AD 1400.
{{Wide image|Globe az.jpg|1000px|Globe, Arizona panorama, 1917}}
In 1875 silver was discovered in the [[San Carlos Apache Indian Reservation]]. Accordingly, that same year, the mining camp at Ramboz Peak nearest to the reservation relocated to what became Globe.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.britannica.com/place/Globe-Arizona|title=Globe &#124; Arizona, United States|website=Encyclopedia Britannica}}</ref> The plans for an incorporated Globe were established in July 1876, with retail stores, banks, and Globe's first newspaper printing its first issue on May 2, 1878. By February 1881, Globe was the Gila County seat. Coming with Globe's new importance as the county seat came a [[stagecoach]] line linking it to [[Silver City, New Mexico]].

Due to Globe's relative isolation from the rest of Arizona and its proximity to the San Carlos Apache reservation, Globe remained a frontier town. Globe's history is laced with many historic events such as murders, stagecoach robberies, outlaws, lynchings, and [[Apache]] raids. Natiotish, a [[San Carlos Apache]], left the reservation with a group of about 50 men and continued to attack ranchers and miners.

In 1884 the surviving Clanton brothers Ike and Phineas arrived in Apache County after the infamous gunfight at the [[OK Corral]] in [[Tombstone, Arizona|Tombstone]]. Ike was eventually killed by a local deputy sheriff, and Phineas, after serving prison time for a stage robbery, moved to Globe, where he died of [[pneumonia]] and was buried in 1906.

Globe is also known for having links to [[Geronimo]] and the [[Apache Kid]]. On October 23, 1889, the Apache Kid's trial was held in the Globe Courthouse. After he was convicted, it was the responsibility of Sheriff [[Glenn Reynolds (sheriff)|Glenn Reynolds]] to transport him to the Arizona Territorial Prison in [[Yuma, Arizona|Yuma]]. Sheriff Reynolds, his deputy, and their prisoners set out in an armored stagecoach holding the Apache Kid inside. At an incline in the road, known as the [[Kelvin Grade Massacre]], near present-day [[Kearny, Arizona|Kearny]], Sheriff Reynolds let some of the prisoners out of the stagecoach seeing as they were on an uphill climb and he wanted to ease the burden on the horses. The prisoners were able to overcome and murder Sheriff Reynolds as well as one other man. A third was left for dead. In response, the [[United States Army]] launched a campaign to track down the renegades.

===Old Dominion copper mine===

The Old Dominion Mining Company was incorporated in 1880, and ran "on a financial roller-coaster" for the next twenty years. In 1894, the mine was sold to the [[Adolph Lewisohn|Lewisohn Brothers]] of New York. The arrival of the railroad in 1898 dramatically lowered shipping costs. In 1904, the mine was acquired by [[Phelps-Dodge]], who appointed [[Louis D. Ricketts]] as general manager. From 1904 to 1908, Phelps-Dodge spent $2.5&nbsp;million on expanding and modernizing the mine and plant. As the mine grew, so did Globe. World War 1 brought increased copper demand; the mine and town both prospered. 1917 was a year of labor unrest in the copper mines nationwide. A strike on the Globe mines was called on July 1, 1917. Federal troops were called in to restore order, miners began returning to work, and the mine was back to normal production by October.

In the postwar years, the Old Dominion never returned to its former glory. Neglected maintenance, declining ore grades, and flooding underground all took their toll. The mine closed during the recession of 1921–22, and the mine closed permanently in 1931. In its half-century of operation, the mine produce some 800&nbsp;million pounds of copper, and returned gross earnings of $134&nbsp;million to shareholders. It was the economic mainstay for the Globe community for most of this half-century.<ref name=Haak/>

The property was sold to the Miami Copper Company as a water supply in 1941, and continues to supply both industrial and domestic water to the area.<ref name=Haak>[https://www.miningfoundationsw.org/resources/Documents/Publications/History%20of%20AZ%20-%20V%203/04_HAAK_1999_HIST_MINING_AZ_3.PDF The Old Dominion Copper Mine] by Wilbur A.
