Pima County is a county in the south central
region of the U.S. state of Arizona. The county is named after the
Pima American Indian tribe which was indigenous to the area. The
population was 843,746 at the 2000 census. The county seat is
Tucson, where nearly all of the population is centered.
Pima County contains parts of the Tohono
O'odham Nation, as well as all of the San Xavier Indian Reservation,
Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument, Ironwood Forest National
Monument and Saguaro National Park.
The vast majority of the county population
lies in and around the city of Tucson (2005 city population:
529,770), filling much of the eastern part of the county with urban
development. Tucson, Arizona's second largest city, is a major
commercial and academic center.
Other urban areas include the Tucson suburbs
of Oro Valley (population 39,400), Marana (population 26,725),
Sahuarita (population 13,990), and South Tucson (population 5,630),
a large ring of unincorporated urban development, and the growing
satellite town Green Valley.
The rest of the county is sparsely populated;
the largest towns are Sells, the capital of the Tohono O'odham
Nation, and Ajo in the far western region of the county.
