Charles Debrille Poston (1825–1902) was an American explorer, prospector, author, politician, and civil servant. He is widely recognized as the "Father of Arizona" due to his historic efforts in lobbying for the creation of the Arizona Territory.
In addition to his foundational work establishing the territory, Poston served as its very first Delegate to the United States House of Representatives. His multifaceted career spanned political advocacy, civil service, exploration, and writing during the nineteenth century.
