Question: What arts community of about 450 residents was once a copper-mining boomtown and the fourth-largest city in the Arizona Territory?

Answer: Jerome. In 1875, mining claims and a mill site were established around the base of two large cone-shaped hills, now called Cleopatra Hill and Woodchute Mountain. The town grew to 15,000 people in the early 1900s.
