The Vulture mine not only financed the growth of Wickenburg but also that of Phoenix. In 1867 Henry Wickenburg, Jack Swilling and others associated with the mine provided the capital to build the system of canals that made possible the development of the Salt River Valley and eventual statehood for Arizona.
