Phoenix: An Overview
Phoenix is a city of brilliant sunshine, set in the high Sonoran Desert in the southcentral part of Arizona, surrounded by mountains and Indian reservations, and deeply imbued with Southwestern American culture. It is a city with more golf courses - twice as many (roughly 200!) - than the rest of the state combined. It is Arizona’s principal city, its capital city, its largest and most populous city, and possibly its fastest growing city, with nearly a million and a half residents. There are several communities and smaller cities surrounding Phoenix, sharing with it the desert and the sun, averaging more than 300 days of blue skies and sunshine every year. Notable among these are Tempe, Mesa, Scottsdale, Glendale, Peoria and Sun City, which, together with Phoenix and other neighboring communities, melt into the greater metropolitan area of Phoenix.
