Why you'd want to live in Maricopa

When Maricopa incorporated in 2003 as the 88th city in Arizona, the 2000 census listed it with a population of 1,040. During the following two years, its population exploded to 15,934 earning it the title of one of the fastest growing cities in the United States. Today, that population has more than doubled again. Maricopa’s new citizens are international and depict the same cultural diversity as its birthplace. It is a community that not only witnessed history, but lived it. Maricopa is the only city in the nation bordered by two Native American communities and continues to honor and celebrate this cultural diversity and embraces the American ingenuity and pioneering spirit that has been an integral part of its community for centuries. For more information about Maricopa’s Native American neighbors, please visit the following sites: HuHuGam Heritage Center, one of the nation’s finest tribal facilities for the preservation and display of important cultural artifacts and art of the Gila River Indian Community Him Dak Eco Museum, a place full of the rich history and values of the Ak-Chin community. Him-Dak means “way of life” in the Ak-Chin language. Maricopa has grown tremendously but has not lost its identity or its sense of community. Rich in history, innate beauty, and friendly people, Maricopa is a fantastic place to raise a family, build a business, or just embrace the warm winter climate and watch the incredible desert sunset out in an array of bright colors across the evening sky and then gently disappear behind the rugged western mountains. Today, Maricopa continues to celebrate its cultural diversity, grow and prosper as a community and a regional economic development partner and provide the many outstanding amenities that its residents value and utilize every day.
