Situated at the base of the Superstition Mountains, the town of Goldfield is located 4½ miles North of Apache Junction off of Mammoth Mine Road. With the discovery of mines in 1892, Goldfield became a booming community boasting a population of 5 thousand people, 3 saloons, boarding houses, a hotel and a general store. There were 50 working mines in the district. The legendary Lost Dutchman Mine has never been rediscovered, but the Superstition Mountains draw adventurers seeking lost gold as well as recreational riches.
