About Safford

Safford is the county seat of Graham County and the main city of its eastern Arizona micropolitan area. It was founded by settlers from Gila Bend and today sits near one of the state's most distinctive science landmarks: Mount Graham, home to major observatories including the Large Binocular Telescope and the Vatican Advanced Technology Telescope. Copper, schools, local government, and nearby Eastern Arizona College all help shape Safford's role as a practical regional center.
