March of Tears
- When
- March 1875
- Where
- Camp Verde Reservation
In March 1875, Yavapai and Tonto Apache residents were forcibly marched 180 miles from Camp Verde to San Carlos, with 375 Yavapai deaths recorded out of 1,400 deported.
The government closed the Yavapai–Apache Camp Verde Reservation in March 1875 and marched the residents 180 miles to the San Carlos Apache Indian Reservation. This event, known as the March of Tears, resulted in the death of 375 Yavapai out of the 1,400 deported. A legacy record dates the occurrence to 25 February 1875, while the supplied passages state March 1875; both dates are preserved here.
