Safford: Graham County Seat at the Foot of Mount Graham
Safford is the county seat of Graham County in southeastern Arizona, with a population of approximately 9,683. The town sits along the Gila River at about 2,900 feet elevation, backed by the Pinaleno Mountains to the south. Mount Graham, the highest point in the range at 10,720 feet, hosts the Mount Graham International Observatory and supports a rare ecosystem that transitions from desert scrub to spruce-fir forest within a 20-mile drive.
Cotton farming, ranching, and copper mining have historically supported the Safford economy. The Freeport-McMoRan Morenci mine, one of the largest open-pit copper operations in North America, operates about 30 miles to the northeast and employs a significant share of the local workforce. The Safford area also produces cotton, pecans, and chili peppers through irrigated agriculture fed by the Gila River and its tributaries.
Hot springs in the area draw a steady stream of visitors. Roper Lake State Park, a few miles south of town, offers a developed hot spring tub alongside a small lake for fishing and camping. The natural hot springs at Essence of Tranquility and several undeveloped sites along the river add to the area's appeal for travelers passing through on US Route 191.
