Sierra Vista, Military city in Cochise County, Arizona, US
Sierra Vista spans across southeastern Arizona at an elevation of 1,412 meters, containing Fort Huachuca and extensive residential neighborhoods spreading toward the Dragoon Mountains.
The settlement transformed from an unincorporated area known as Fry Town into an established city in 1956, driven by local residents seeking organized development.
Fort Huachuca shapes the social fabric of Sierra Vista through military families, defense contractors, and civilian personnel who participate in regular community gatherings.
The Sierra Vista Municipal Airport and multiple highways connect the city with Tucson, while Vista Transit provides local transportation throughout residential and commercial districts.
Sierra Vista contains the Murray Springs Clovis Site, preserving evidence of human activities from 11,000 years ago through archaeological discoveries and research facilities.
