Simmons, Arizona

This is the site of ‘the crossing' on the Mojave-Prescott "Hardyville" toll road. The road was authorized by the first territorial legislature and was built by W. H. Hardy, connecting Prescott with Hardyville on the Colorado River.

William John Simmons built a home, bar, hotel, dance hall, post office, store, corrals, blacksmith, and storage buildings here.

Marker can be reached from Williamson Valley Road (at milepost 21) near West Mint Wash Pass Road.
