The
Verde Valley (
Yavapai:
Matkʼamvaha) is a
valley in central
Arizona in the
United States of America. The
Verde River runs through it. It is overlooked by
Mingus Mountain and the
Mogollon Rim.
The first notice of this region appears in the report of
Antonio de Espejo, who visited in 1583. Little more was recorded until the commencement of prospecting for gold and silver in the 19th century.
