Forrest was a populated place situated in Cochise County, Arizona, United States.[1] It has an estimated elevation of Шаблон:Convert above sea level.[2]

Forrest was on the El Paso and Southwestern Railroad and was named for a local old resident and rancher.[3]

The Paul Lime Plant began operating nearby in 1918[4] and the railway spur to there was renamed Paul's Spur.[5] By the 1940s it was the largest lime producer in Southern Arizona.[4]

Forrest had a post office that opened on May 8, 1914.[3] Forrest School was twice destroyed by fire, once in 1915 and again in 1929 when it was replaced by a larger brick building.[5] At one time up to 200 families lived nearby working in the lime plant.[5] However following mechanisation the population dropped and the school closed in 1963.[5] Forrest School District continued in existence organising transport to schools in Douglas.[5]
