Aravaipa had a post office from 1883 until 1893. For nine of those years it was known as Dunlap after Burt Dunlap, a local rancher. When they found there was already a post office with the same name, the town was renamed after the Aravaipa indians. There was a school. store, and even a pool hall in this mining/ranching town. Today there are a few buildings and outhouses left.
