Phoenix is the capital of
Arizona and the seat of Maricopa County. It lies
in the midst of the Sonoran Desert, surrounded
by mountains and lush fields of cotton and
citrus fruits. The sun shines almost every day
in Phoenix, which is why the Navajo refer to it
as Hoozdo ("the place is hot").
A thousand years before the city of
Phoenix was founded, the Salt River area was
occupied by a civilized community of
farmers. These industrious and imaginative
people built an irrigation system of some
135 miles of canals, and kept the land
fertile. The fate of this ancient
civilization remains a mystery, but it is
generally believed that they were destroyed
or driven away by a prolonged drought. They
have come to be known as the Hohokam, from
the Pima Indian phrase for "those who have
gone." |
