Cave Creek Real Estate - Cave Creek Real Estate Agent Joan Barnes.

The town, which roughly traces the northern fringes of Phoenix and Scottsdale, has a well-preserved pedigree as an Arizona historical landmark. Its reputation began to grow in the mid-1800s, when the lure of the gold, and later, copper drew a colorful cast of characters to Cave Creek: hardy frontiersmen rough-and-tumble pan "sluicers," career explorers and able-bodied adventurists all made their way to "Cave Creek Station", as it was then known, drawn by the smell of gold and the age-old dream of striking it rich. The mines they staked claims to were given names as colorful as their founders: Mormon Girl, the Golden Star, the Blue Boy, the New Hope, and the Cave Creek Mistress were just a few of the makeshift quarries where men toiled tirelessly, seeking their fortunes. Today, the ruins of many of these long-abandoned mines offer visitors endless hours of exploration.

Although more than a century has passed, the town of Cave Creek is still inhabited by the rugged spirit of the old west in which it was founded. Along its quaint main street, visitors can while away many happy, hours rummaging through quirky old antique and curio parlors, touring the history-laden exhibits at the Cave Creek Museum, dining on authentic southwestern food in of over 20 restaurants, or simply taking in the splendid view in the shadow of Black Mountain, the town's most notable geologic landmark. The town's annual Fiesta Days celebration faithfully honors the pioneering spirit of the old west with several days of rodeos, dances, parades and other activities that offer visitors an accurate glimpse into a legendary past.
