Question

all facts

Answer 1

According to Wiki, Cochise County was created on January 3, 1881 out of the eastern portion of Pima County.  I guess this means that the territorial government discovered it.

If you mean who were the first people to travel to the area, that would be nomads around 12,000 BCE.

If you mean who were the first Europeans to travel to the area, that would be the Spanish, led by Coronado in the 1540s.

Answer 2

Cochise County was created on January 3, 1881 out of the eastern portion of Pima County. It took its name from the legendary Chiricahua Apache war chief Cochise.

Pima County was one of the four original counties in Arizona that was created by the Territorial Legislature on November 9th 1864 when land acquired by the Gadsden Purchase from Mexico in 1853 became the Arizona Territory of the United States.

The Gadsden Purchase is a 29,670-square-mile (76,800 km²) region of what is today southern Arizona and New Mexico that was purchased and ratified by the U.S. Senate and signed by President Franklin Pierce on June 24, 1853.
