Maricopa County, AZ
Most of what is now Maricopa County was
included as part of the Territory of New Mexico until 1863, when the Arizona Territory was
established. The growth of Phoenix and other settlements along the Salt River resulted in
the creation of Maricopa County - officially established on February 14, 1871. It was the
first new county of the original four counties of Territorial Arizona. The County was
named in honor of the Maricopa Indians, who were known to have inhabited the area as early
as 1775. Maricopa County’s outer geographical boundaries were set in 1881 and have
not changed since.
Maricopa County has a land
area of 9,226 square miles, of which 1,441 square miles are incorporated (15.6 percent)
and 7,785 square miles are unincorporated (84.4 percent). It is the 5th largest of
Arizona's 15 counties, and the 14th largest county in the United States. The County is
larger than seven states and the District of Columbia and measures 132 miles from east to
west and 103 miles from north to south. A total of 29 cities are located within Maricopa
County's outer boundaries.
