Cascabel is a rural community in Cochise County, Arizona, United States.

It is located at 32.291N / 110.378W, on the banks of the San Pedro River, east of Tucson and about 37 km north-northwest of Benson.

The name Cascabel derives from Spanish for "rattle", because an early settler killed a large rattlesnake here. [2] Cascabel was a small farming community. The post office was started by Alex Herron, a small ranch and store owner, in 1916. When deciding what to name the Cascabel post office, Herron, while on the way to Benson, met a Mexican man with a dead rattlesnake. Herron asked what the name of the snake was and the man replied "Cascabel." This was the name Herron decided to name the post office. [3] The post office was in operation until 1936.
