Graham County |
The county seat of Graham County, Arizona, is Safford. The county population on July 1, 1999, was 31,998, an increase of 5,444 over the 1990 census.
Graham County, formed in 1881 by the 11th Territorial Legislature, was created from parts of Apache and Pima counties. The legislature broke with tradition of naming Arizona counties after local Indian tribes when the new county called Graham was named after the 10,516-foot Mount Graham, the highest peak in the area. The mountain in turn had been named Graham after Lt. Col. James Duncan Graham, a senior officer in the Brig. Gen. Stephen W. Kearneys U.S Army Corps of Topographical Engineers.For information on county government, contact the National Association of Counties Web site.
