Phoenix officially was recognized on May 4, 1868, by the Yavapai County Board of Supervisors. While Phoenix is the corporate and industrial center of the southwest it has not forgotten its past, and it has retained its long-time reputation of friendliness and concern of its citizens for one another and their government. Phoenix has been selected four times since 1950 as an "All-America City" in competition with hundreds of other cities and towns across the nation.
