Rich History of Weaver Creek: Weaver Creek is named after Pauline Weaver, a famous mountain man and explorer who played a key role in Arizona’s early history. In the 1860s, Weaver led the Peeples’ Party into the region, where they discovered gold on nearby Rich Hill, igniting one of Arizona’s most significant gold rushes. Rich Hill and Weaver Creek have since become legendary for their gold production, with some of the largest nuggets ever found in Arizona coming from this area. The gravels of Weaver Creek, shaped by centuries of seasonal flooding, contain rich deposits of fine gold, flakes, and occasional larger nuggets, making it a prime location for prospectors.
