Occurrences in the vicinity of the town of Bowie.

Bowie is an unincorporated community and a census-designated place in Cochise County, Arizona, United States.

The Southern Pacific built a rail line through eastern Arizona in 1880, including a stop at Bowie. Once a junction was made in March 1881 with eastern rail lines in Deming, New Mexico, this line was the second transcontinental rail route across the United States.

The community is named for the former Fort Bowie.
