The Mysterious Legacy of the Poston Butte Pyramid

Charles Debrille Poston, often referred to as the "Father of Arizona," is a historical figure whose contributions to the state's early development are both significant and largely overlooked today. Born on February 12, 1825, in New York, Poston emerged as a prominent figure in the mid-19th century, recognized for his ambitious vision for the Arizona territory and his role in its governance. In 1925, on the 100th anniversary of Poston’s birth, his final wishes were honored. His remains were exhumed and he was reinterred in a pyramid built by the state government in a ceremony presided over by the governor of Arizona. Primrose Hill was renamed Poston Butte and today is managed by the city of Florence, Arizona as a park.
