Living in Phoenix
Phoenix, known as the Valley of the Sun, is the capital of Arizona and our nation’s 7th largest city. The name “Phoenix” comes from the Egyptian symbol of rebirth and was chosen because the city was built on the ruins of the Hohokam Indian civilization.
Phoenix's explosive growth began during World War II when military airfields were built in Maricopa County and many defense industries followed. Today, manufacturing of electronics is one of the area’s leading employers. Phoenix currently ranks 3rd nationally among electronic production centers. Tourism is also vital to Phoenix’s economy, with over 45% of its total employment in the retail and service sectors. Phoenix is home to many world class hotels and resorts.
