Apache Pass (named for the Apache people), its earlier Spanish name was "Puerto del Dado", ("Pass of the Die").

==Apache Spring==
A nearby freshwater spring, Apache Spring, was once an important water source for travelers in the desert landscape. The history of Apache Pass began with the spring—it was a watering place in the harsh desert of what became southern Arizona and therefore a crossroads.〔Trimble, Marshall. (2004) ''Roadside History of Arizona, Second Edition.'' Missoula: Mountain Press Publishing Company. ISBN 0-87842-471-7. p.64.〕 Indigenous peoples were dependent for their survival on regular access to water holes, so the spring at Apache Pass was a natural stopping place for them. The Apache used the springs at Apache Pass, with many trails from different directions converging on the site. The great Apache leader Cochise, who, along with many of his followers, favored the area around the spring as a camping spot in winter and spring. There were often hundreds of Chiricahuas living in the area.〔Trimble p.65〕 A little higher than the surrounding desert terrain, it was cooler on hot days, the water was there and there was abundant game and firewood in the area.
