Page "Mingus Mountain" Paragraph 1

According to the book, Roadside History of Arizona, by Marshall Trimble, " Mingus Mountain was named for Joseph and Jacob Mingus, two brothers who settled in the area in the 1880s and later operated a sawmill near the base of the mountain ".

Another source attributes the name to William Mingus ( d. 1911, Prescott, Arizona ), a pioneer prospector who lived and worked on Mingus Mountain in the 1870s.
