Verde Valley Area Offers Climate, Culture And Fun

Cottonwood, located in the heart of Arizona’s magnificent Verde Valley, is at an elevation of 3,300 feet, making the enjoyment of outdoor activities possible throughout the year. And there is plenty to enjoy in the region...golf, hiking, fishing, hunting, photography, birdwatching, cycling, historic sightseeing....you name it.

The scenery is world-class....from the awesome Mingus Mountain range near Cottonwood Ranch to the seeing-is-believing red rock beauty of Sedona to the Verde River meandering through Cottonwood.

The Verde Valley’s earliest inhabitants were the Hohokam Indians who prospered as farmers around 600 A.D. The Sinagua, Yavapai and Tonto Apache Indians farmed the land until military occupation of the Verde Valley began in 1865. Named after the beautiful cottonwood trees along the Verde River, Cottonwood was incorporated in 1960 and is now the business center of the Verde Valley.

The amenities necessary for modern living available in the Cottonwood area include a medical center, numerous medical specialty practices, a college, shopping, restaurants, shopping centers, antique shops, art galleries, churches, and opportunities for volunteer service.
