Wilford, Arizona is a ghost town in Navajo County, Arizona, United States, located approximately 7 miles south of Heber-Overgaard, along Black Canyon Rd. The town was settled in April 1883 by a group of Latter-day Saints from the failed Brigham City settlement. Wilford was eventually abandoned due to years of overgrazing by cattle. The last residents moved out in 1926.
