Jerome Junction is a ghost town in Yavapai County, Arizona, United States. Established in 1894, the community served as a railroad stop between the town of Prescott and the town of Jerome. It served as a transfer point between the Santa Fe, Phoenix, and Prescott Railroads and the United Verde & Pacific Railway for 15 years. The railroad was built precariously on the side of Woodchute Mountain. When the railroad was extended to Clarkdale in 1920, Jerome Junction became a ghost town, and in 1923, the activities of the former town were absorbed by Chino Valley.[1]
All that remains today are some foundations and railroad equipment.
