Peters Corner was founded no later than 1951, when Essex Peters opened the Midway Inn at the location.[4]

In 1967, Pinal County attorney Lloyd Brumage filed an injunction against the institution at Peters Corner, claiming it was a "house of prostitution."[3] The Peters' Corner Tavern's liquor license was revoked following another prostitution raid in 1972, and the bar's owners appealed the revocation.[5] The bar and filling station was temporarily closed and sold to new owners in 1973.[6]

Local sources show the name was changed to Simps' Corner in 1974.[7] However, the location continued to be called Peters Corner in later sources.[8]
