Tip Top, Arizona

Tip Top, Arizona

Tip Top is a ghost town in Yavapai County, Arizona, United States. Primarily a silver-mining town, it had a post office from August 12, 1880, until February 14, 1895. The town was founded after two men struck a significant lode of silver and gold in 1875. Many ruins still exist in Tip Top today.

The nearby ghost town of Gilette was the original mill site for the ore from the Tip Top mine.

Tip Top at its peak had over 500 residents and was one of the largest towns in Arizona at the time.
