About Arizona Counties

Arizona is divided into 15 counties, each with its own governing body and jurisdiction. These counties vary greatly in size, population, geography, and economic focus. Arizona counties play a crucial role in providing local government services, maintaining public records, administering elections, and managing public infrastructure.

The largest county by area is Coconino County, which spans over 18,000 square miles and contains much of the Grand Canyon. The smallest county is Santa Cruz, at just 1,238 square miles. Maricopa County, home to Phoenix, is by far the most populous with over 4.4 million residents, while Greenlee County has the smallest population at less than 10,000 people.

When examining a county map of Arizona, you'll notice distinct regions: the heavily populated central corridor in Maricopa County, the vast wilderness of northern counties like Coconino and Mohave, the mining regions of eastern counties, and the agricultural areas along the Colorado River. This diversity reflects Arizona's varied landscape and history of development.
