Dewey-Humboldt The Town of Dewey-Humboldt was incorporated effective December 20, 2004 after a successful drive for incorporation that began several years earlier. Voters passed the initiative creating the Town with 72 percent voting in favor. The initiative defined the actual Town limits and the name – Dewey-Humboldt.

Dewey and Humboldt represented two distinct communities during the last 100 + years with Dewey providing an agricultural and ranching economy while the Humboldt area had an economy based largely in mining. As the Town of Prescott Valley continued to grow since its founding in the mid 1960’s, the people within the Dewey and Humboldt areas became concerned that Prescott Valley’s growth and annexation strategy might continue along Highway 69, which could ultimately jeopardize the very low density, rural setting of the area. In response, many people became involved in leading the drive for incorporation. During this process, it also became clear to some that incorporation would allow the new town to have more control over how their tax dollars are spent within the town than would otherwise be the case if it remained unincorporated.

The Yavapai County Board of Supervisors appointed the Town’s first Council and the first Council election was held on September 13, 2005. The Council is committed to maintaining the rural setting of the area (residential lot sizes are typically greater than 1/2 acre, with most areas 1.6 acres or greater). The 2010 census showed a population of 3,894 residents. The town motto is "Arizona’s Country Town".Source: Town of Dewey-HumboldtArizona State Taxes

Complementing the magnificence of these natural creations is the delightfully charming Arts and Crafts Village of “Tlaquepaque,” situated in the heart of Sedona. Meaning “the best of everything,” Tlaquepaque is truly a fitting name for this Spanish Colonial Village. Displays by several renowned Arizona artisans, intriguing one-of-a-kind shops, fine restaurants, sunny flower- filled courtyards, graceful old sycamores, colorful tiles, fountains, carillons and many great cultural events combine to create an unforgettable ambiance. www.visitsedona.com Tuzigoot Tuzigoot, which is Apache for “crooked water,” is the remnant of a Sinaguan village built between 1125 and 1400. It crowns the summit of a long ridge that rises 120 feet above the Verde Valley.

Grand Canyon The Grand Canyon The Grand Canyon, located in the state of Arizona, is considered by some to be one of the seven wonders of the world, due to its sensational decorative colors and majestic natural beauty. It measures about 18 miles wide (29 km), 277 miles (446 km) long, and a mile (1.6 km) deep. The area is encompassed by over one million acres (or over 1,900 square miles). To put it into perspective, the island of Manhattan which is nearly 34 square miles would be able to fit in the Grand Canyon Park nearly 58 times. The Park has three main sections, the South Rim, North Rim, and the Inner Canyon. 395 Hwy. 64. www.grandcanyon.com
