Coconino County stretches from the Arizona-Utah border southward to the Mogollon Rim, a rugged cliff-like escarpment rising one to two thousand feet from semi-desert to the lush plateau that's home to the South of Flagstaff communities. This is a huge county!

Coconino County has a low population (approximately 110,000) for it's size (we like it that way). The county covers 18,608 square miles, and is the largest county in Arizona and the second largest county in the United States in land area.

Coconino County contains Grand Canyon National Park, the Havasupai Nation, and parts of the Navajo Nation, Hualapai Nation, and Hopi Nation. It takes its name from Cosnino, a name applied to the Havasupai.

Indian reservations of the Navajo, Hopi, Paiute, Havasupai and Hualapai tribes comprise more than a third of the county's land. Thirty two percent is Federal land (Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management). Ten percent is State of Arizona land, and only thirteen percent of the land in the county is privately owned.

Coconino County is home to the Grand Canyon National Park, the San Francisco Peaks, Oak Creek Canyon, Sedona, Sunset Crater National Monument, and Lake Powell, in addition to the South of Flagstaff area.

Coconino County was the setting for George Herriman's early 20th century Krazy Kat comic strip.

Coconino County has a relatively large Native American population at nearly 30% of the county's total population, being mostly Navajo with smaller numbers of Havasupai, Hopi, and others.

Coconino County History
After the building of the Atlantic & Pacific Railroad in 1883 the region of northern Yavapai County began experiencing rapid growth. The people of the northern reaches had tired of the rigors of traveling all the way to Prescott for county business. They also believed that they were a significant enough entity that they should have their own county jurisdiction. Therefore, they decided in 1887 to petition for secession from Yavapai and the creation of a new Frisco County. They remained part of Yavapai, however, until 1891 when Coconino County was formed. The seat was at Flagstaff.

The median income for a household in the county was $38,256, and the median income for a family was $45,873. Males had a median income of $32,226 versus $25,055 for females. The per capita income for the county was $17,139. About 13.10% of families and 18.20% of the population were below the poverty line, including 22.30% of those under age 18 and 13.30% of those age 65 or over.
