Mayer, Arizona
Mayer is a census-designated place (CDP) in Yavapai County, Arizona, United States. The population was 1,408 at the 2000 census. Mayer includes three sites listed on the National Register of Historic Places: the Mayer Apartments, the Mayer Business Block, and the Mayer Red Brick Schoolhouse.
The place was originally called Wi:kidoʼyoʼ in Yavapai. A local legend holds that the English name came from a runaway boy with the last name of Mayer.[citation needed] From May to June 1942, 245 Japanese Americans were confined at the Mayer Assembly Center, one of 17 temporary detention camps built to hold Japanese Americans removed from the West Coast after the U.S. entered World War II. The 69 families were mostly from Maricopa County's Salt River Valley area, and lived in military-style barracks on the converted Civilian Conservation Corps camp for just under a month before being transferred to the more permanent and isolated internment camp at Poston, Arizona.
The Goodwin Fire sparked on June 24, 2017, in the Bradshaw Mountains near the town of Mayer, which days later led to the evacuations of more than 9,000 residents. The wildfire burned 28,516 acres of land. Highway 69 was closed between the towns of Mayer and Dewey-Humboldt. The fire destroyed approximately five structures and injured one firefighter.
According to the United States Census Bureau, the CDP has a total area of 20.1 square miles (52 km2), all land.
According to the Köppen Climate Classification system, Mayer has a semi-arid climate, abbreviated "BSk" on climate maps.
