While the town now plays host to a burgeoning food and arts scene, life in Globe is still imbued with the adventurous spirit and warm hospitality of the frontier.

Just a mile southwest of Globe are the ancient ruins of the Salado people, who lived in the area over 800 years ago. The site of this historical village is known as Besh Ba Gowah, which was a name given by the Apache people in the early settlement of Globe that means “place of metal.”
