The monument is one place you will definitively want to make time to see. Arizona City was created in 1960, as a planned community centered between Tucson and Phoenix. However the community didn t really take off until the 1970 s, when Fuqua Industries conglomerate took over. The town is surrounded by rich fertile soil. The local farms harvest a variety of crops such as beans, cotton, citrus and grains.
Cattle ranching is also very important to the area.
The community s location along the Golden Corridor between these two metropolitan cities makes its future golden. It has also become a popular stopover point for many travelers. Today, Arizona City continues to grow and prosper. There are parts of the community zoned for industrial and commercial business.
