Understand
Phoenix is located in the heart of the Sonora desert, the climate is warm desert. It enjoys an average sunshine of 360 days per year, which represents an attractive potential that has led to population growth and economic activity in recent years.
Founded in 1868, it is then only a village of breeders and miners. It took off in the 1880s, with the arrival of the railway in the region and the opening of a chamber of commerce. The development of the city continues with the arrival of the automobile which facilitates its access, especially for the therapeutic virtues of its dry climate. In 1912, it became the capital of Arizona, enabling an acceleration of population growth, reinforced by the production of weapons during the Second World War. After the war, it becomes attractive to pensioners.
