Wickenburg, a high desert town with 5,082 residents, is just 60 miles northwest of Phoenix in the northern reaches of the great southwest’s Sonoran Desert. Our Town is noted for its clean air, good country living, western hospitality and all-around high quality of life. Winters are generally cool and dry, which leads to an annual population increase of 2,500 "snow birds" every autumn. Summers are hot, but it’s a dry heat and locals enjoy the laid back atmosphere the warm weather brings with it.

Wickenburg is renowned for its guest ("dude") ranches and tourism support businesses. It is home to two nationally known behavioral health treatment facilities and several manufacturing plants. Annual events include Gold Rush Days, the Blue Grass Festival, the Desert Caballeros Ride and Fiesta Septiembre.
