Phoenix Arizona

Phoenix is the capital city of the Arizona State, and it is the biggest city in the state. The city is the most heavily populated capital city in the United States, in addition to the 6th most crowded city in the country. Additionally, the city is the province seat of Maricopa County and it is one among the biggest cities in the country by land area.

The Phoenix City was incorporated as a city in the union during 1881. The city is situated in the northeastern part of the Sonoran Desert, and it has a subtropical desert type of weather. In spite of this, the canal system of the city led to a flourishing farming community, several of the original crops enduring vital parts of the Phoenix market for decades. Actually, the driving forces of the of Phoenix's economy include Cattle, Cotton, Citrus, Copper and Climate, which are called as the 5Cs of the city that remained until after the Second World War, when the high tech industries started to shift into the valley.

The rate of growth of the population of the Phoenix metro region has been almost 4 percent per year for the preceding 40 years. Though that growth rate declined during the Great Recession, it has previously begun to bounce back. Being close to the hub of the state, the Phoenix city is the jumping off spot for a variety of attractions in the Sun Valley, in addition to the rest of the Arizona State.

Climate

Nearly all deserts experience extreme variations between day and night temperatures, but Phoenix does not undergo such variations, owing to the city heat island effect. As the city has extended, mean summer low temperatures have been increasing steadily.

Economy

The Phoenix’s early economy was focused chiefly on farming and natural resources, depending chiefly on cattle, copper, climate, citrus and cotton. As soon as the Salt River Scheme was finished, generally, the city and the valley, started to grow more swiftly, owing to a currently reasonably reliable resource of water. Led by farming, the leading crop during the 1910s was alfalfa, pursued by cotton, citrus, and other crops, with approximately a 1/4th million acres under farming by the middle part of the decade.
