Phoenix Arizona Guide

Phoenix is the capital and the most populous city of the U.S. state of Arizona and the county seat of Maricopa County, as well as being the largest state capital in the United States by population. It is the largest city in the American Southwest and is the region's primary government, cultural, economic, and transportation center. Phoenix is located along the banks of the now normally dry Salt River, and was incorporated as a city on February 25, 1881. Residents of Phoenix are known as Phoenicians.

Phoenix is home to a large number of parks and recreation areas. To help residents cope with the harsh desert heat during the summer months, many waterparks are scattered around the valley.
