Graham County
Graham County, located in southeastern Arizona, was founded in 1881. The name "Graham" came from the 10,516-foot Mount Graham, the highest peak in the area. Graham County incorporates the towns of Safford, Pima, and Thatcher, and has a population of 38,633 people.
Graham County has small town friendliness, over 4 million acres of National Forest and protected Wilderness lands, pristine high desert beauty, the lush Gila Valley, and towering pines on Mount Graham. Graham County is filled with so many things to do in its terrific little communities and has some of the most beautiful scenic terrain in the entire Southwest. It’s no wonder first time visitors frequently come back for more…naturally!
Safford is home to the Graham County Chamber of Commerce and is the hub of activity in the region. A lot of people have a notion of what “Hometown America” is and that is exactly what you will experience when you walk the streets of downtown Safford, stroll through the town square, and visit with the people you meet on the street. As a matter of fact, it’s like that in all the Graham County communities – just plain friendly folks.
Foodies will find the dining options in Graham County a treat. The Salsa Trail restaurants serve up some of the best Mexican food in Arizona and you’ll find lots of dining options all through the county.
