Hilltop is a Ghost town situated in Cochise County, Arizona, United States. Hilltop was discovered in the 1880s and was a successful mining town in the 1900s. Their economy declined steadily until the 1940s when Hilltop became a ghost town. The Hilltop Post office was erected on June 26, 1920, serving the local community. The most notable achievement of the town was their purchase of an automobile in 1913 which they cherished and took great care of, using it to export minerals and ores. Hilltop has an estimated elevation of 5,702 feet (1,738 m) above sea level in the Chiricahua Mountains on the border of Arizona and New Mexico.
