Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport (IATA: PHX, ICAO: KPHX, FAA LID: PHX) is a public airport located three miles (4.8 km) east of the central business district (CBD) of Phoenix, a city in Maricopa County, Arizona, USA. It is Arizona's main international airport and one of the largest aviation facilities in the American Southwest.
Phoenix is the capital and the most populous city of the U.S. State of Arizona and the county seat of Maricopa County. It is the largest capital city in the United States. Its physical location is along the banks of the normally dry Salt River. It was incorporated as a city on February 25, 1881. Phoenix had an estimated 2006 population of 1,512,986, making it the fifth largest city in the United States.
Why would anybody want to start a city in the middle of a desert? The answer is, surprisingly, agriculture. The Salt and Verde Rivers of central Arizona were exploited for large-scale agriculture by Native Americans as early as the 11th century. Warm and sunny winter weather also ensured a thriving tourism industry, and encouraged many easterners and midwesterners to relocate to Phoenix.
