Why We
Love Wickenburg
A smiling welcome in
every greeting. Friendliness and the warm spirit of good neighborliness
are as evident in Wickenburg as is the inexhaustible supply of sunshine
that bathes the region. A real western tourist destination since 1863!

Arizona’s Most Western Community
is Rich in Lore and Romance
Nature graced Wickenburg with a gentle magic. Resting
on the northern edge of the Sonoran Desert, just below Arizona’s
mountainous country, this
Hassayampa
River community abounds in natural beauty. For centuries, the
Western Yavapai made the banks of this oasis their home, irrigating
their crops of corn, beans, squash and tobacco. They named this place
Haseyamo – meaning “following the water as far as it goes.”

Wickenburg Arizona is the oldest town north of Tucson and maintains its
main street Western Heritage while in the shadow of big city Phoenix.

days to a quite and reserved town with plenty of elbow room and small
town charm. The communities of Aguila,
Congress,
Circle City,
Morristown,
Peeples Valley and
Yarnell look to Wickenburg for much of
their shopping and service needs. Now, in the footprint of growth of
Maricopa County, Wickenburg maintains the integrity of its old west
past.
