Sponsored LinksTravel reviews & great deals at TripAdvisor: BisbeeBisbee (biz'bē) [key], city (1990 pop. 6,288), seat of Cochise co., SE Ariz., near the Mexican border; inc. 1900. It was formerly a great copper-producing center, but mining has declined significantly. After the rich copper deposits were discovered (c.1876), the city was built in two steep-sided canyons, Mule Pass Gulch and Brewery Gulch. Nearby is Coronado National Memorial (see National Parks and Monuments, table), which commemorates the visit (1540) of Francisco Coronado. The Columbia Electronic Encyclopedia, 6th ed.
