About Bowie, Arizona, United States
Bowie is an unincorporated community in Cochise County, Arizona, United States, located in the southeastern part of the state. Its name derives from Jim Bowie, a prominent local guide and scout in the 19th century. The area is located at the junction of the Sonoran Desert and the Chiricahua Mountains, at an elevation of about 1,100 meters above sea level, and has a typical high desert climate with hot, dry summers and mild winters.
History and Demographic Characteristics
Bowie originally sprang up as a result of the construction of the Pacific Railroad in the 1880s and served as a railroad supply depot and mining community. Today, the population is approximately 500, with agriculture and livestock as the mainstay of the economy, and alfalfa, cotton, and other crops widely grown in the surrounding area. The community retains some of its historic buildings, such as the site of the old railroad station, which reflects the character of the late 19th century pioneering period in the American West.
Geography and Transportation
Bowie is located adjacent to Interstate 10, approximately 320 miles from the state capital of Phoenix and 180 miles from Tucson. The surrounding area is rich in natural beauty, with the Chiricahua National Monument to the east and the Apache National Forest to the north, a popular spot for hiking and bird watching. The area is dominated by a rural lifestyle, public services are relatively basic, and residents rely on neighboring towns for medical and educational resources.
