Since Tombstone is famous for its history, here's a brief summary concentrating on the town's history

Tombstone has a very famous history with the gunfight at the OK Corral between the Earps and the Clantons in 1881. But the town began when a man named Ed Schieffelin came to Camp Huachuca with soldiers and left to begin propecting in the area. He was told he would probably find his tombstone instead of silver. When he filed his first claim, he named it Tombstone. Once word went out about the rich lodes in Tombstone area, the town was given this as its name. Mining boomed in Tombstone for seven years until rising underground water caused operations to cease. The famous Wyatt Earp gunbattle in the OK Corral was an indication of the lawlessness and violence that took place in Tombstone in its heyday. More information about the history of Tombstone may be found at the city library, the Courthouse Museum and local bookstores.
