Navajo County, Administrative division in northeastern Arizona, United States
Description
Navajo County is an administrative division in northeastern Arizona that encompasses diverse terrain from mountain ranges to desert plains. The region contains the Petrified Forest National Park, several national forests, and numerous communities of varying sizes.
History
The territory became a separate administrative unit in 1895 when it was divided from a larger county. This division allowed for more manageable governance of the expanding settlements in the region.
Culture
Three Native American communities shape daily life here: the Navajo Nation, the Hopi Tribe, and the White Mountain Apache Tribe. Their traditions and languages are woven into the fabric of local communities across the region.
Practical
The main administrative centers are located in the towns of Holbrook, Show Low, and Winslow, where visitors and residents can access county services. These towns are spread across the region, so plan for driving time between them.
Did you know?
The Holbrook area contains significant mineral deposits that have been industrially extracted for decades. These resources have shaped the economic development of the region.
