The Town of Winkelman, at an elevation of 1,947 feet, is located in the southern end of Gila County and part of Pinal County, at the confluence of the San Pedro and Gila Rivers. The history of Winkelman dates back to 1877 and 1878, when a large number of farmers migrated to the region. With the coming of the railroad, a Post Office was established in 1903 near the ranch of Peter Winkelman. Winkelman was incorporated in 1914. However, a few years later the Town dis-incorporated and later reincorporated on June 6, 1949.

The scenery around Winkelman is some of the most spectacular in the State and is part of the Old West Highway route. The mountain ranges provide the backdrop for the meandering Gila River and such landmarks as Saddleback and Mescal Mountain ranges.

The route changes elevation from 2500 to 5000 feet with corresponding changes in flora and geology. It is beautiful and different on each of three sides.
