Cascabel is a ghost town in Cochise County, Arizona, United States. It is located at (32.291N / 110.378W ), on the banks of the San Pedro River, east of Tucson and about 37 km north-northwest of Benson. The name Cascabel derives from Spanish for "rattle", because an early settler killed a large rattlesnake here.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.epodunk.com/cgi-bin/genInfo.php?locIndex=11148 )〕 Cascabel was a small farming community. The post office was started by Alex Herron, a small ranch and store owner, in 1916. When deciding what to name the Cascabel post office, Herron, while on the way to Benson, met a Mexican man with a dead rattlesnake. Herron asked what the name of the snake was and the man replied "Cascabel." This was the name Herron decided to name the post office.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.cascabel.org/what.html )〕 The post office was in operation until 1936. ==References==
