Phoenix is Arizona’s largest city, situated beside the Salt River near the center of the state.

In just four decades the population increased nine-fold to more than a million people. Phoenix is a commercial and manufacturing center that is surrounded by agribusiness. Predominant industries include government, agriculture, aerospace, electronics, mining, timber, and tourism.
