Holbrook, Arizona is a small city in northeastern Arizona. First established as a stop along the Atlantic and Pacific Railroad in 1882, Holbrook serves as the county seat for Navajo County. Once a roughshod frontier town populated by cowboys, ranchers and railroad men, Holbrook saw renewed prosperity upon the completion of historic Route 66, which drew millions of young families west after World War II. Situated at the junction of Interstate 40 (which overtook Route 66 in the 1970’s), State Highway 77, State Highway 377 and U.S. Highway 180, Holbrook remains a center for commerce, trade and tourism in the region.
Surrounded on all sides by the breathtaking natural scenery of eastern Arizona’s high desert plateau, the city of Holbrook offers excellent opportunities for recreation, sightseeing and leisure. Just east of town is the stunning Petrified Forest National Park, which features striking geologic formations, Native American rock etchings, ancient Navajo dwellings, and one of the world’s largest and most colorful concentrations of petrified wood. At the heart of Holbrook’s downtown is Navajo County Courthouse, now on the National Register of Historic Places and home to the Navajo County Historical Museum. On the edge of town sit the peculiar guest dwellings of Wigwam village, still in use as motel rooms and also named to the National Register of Historic Places in 2002. Other nearby attractions include the Painted Desert (which begins at the northern edge of Petrified Forest National Park), Canyon De Chelly National Monument, the Navajo, Hopi and Zuni reservations, Homlovi Ruins State Park, and the ski resorts of the Mogollon Rim.

ARIZONA: FRONTIERS NEW AND OLD
A sprawling natural wonderland at the heart of the American Southwest, Arizona is also one of the fastest-growing states in the country. A vast, largely uninhabited desert landscape as recently as the early 20th century, Arizona is now home to more than five million residents. A national leader in electronics, software, aerospace engineering and agriculture among other industries, Arizona offers a flourishing economy, breathtaking natural scenery, countless options for outdoor recreation and leisure, affordable housing and a rich cultural life. From the Grand Canyon to Lake Powell, from the old frontier towns to the modern metropolis of Phoenix, Arizona is a land of great promise and boundless opportunity.
In recent times, Arizona has become a major warm-weather tourist and retirement destination, much like Florida. A major part of the tourism industry is based on the presence of the Grand Canyon. With a gorgeous natural landscape, countless historical sites, parks and museums, a booming high-tech economy, excellent state services and a progressive approach to future growth, Arizona remains a great place to live, work and explore.
Climate
Due to its great size and variations in elevation, the state of Arizona has greatly varying climate conditions from one area to another. Lowlands are predominantly desert, with very hot and dry summers, cooler nights and moderate winters. The state's northern plateau has a significantly cooler climate, with mild summers and frequent snowfall in the winter.
Population:
One of the fastest-growing states in the nation, Arizona has a population of over 6.1 million, an increase of more than 1 million since the year 2000. The state's population is largely concentrated in the metropolitan areas of Phoenix and Tucson, the state's two largest cities. While there are smaller population centers around Yuma (in the southwest corner) and Flagstaff (in north-central Arizona), vast areas of the state remain largely uninhabited, due in great part to the desert climate.
