What Are the Largest U.S. Cities by Area?

Sprawling across 517 square miles in the northeast Sonoran Desert, Arizona's capital is the fifth-most populous city in the country.

Its earliest inhabitants were the Hohokam peoples, who had a strong presence in the area until around 1450. European settlers established the site that would become Phoenix in the early 1860s. According to legend, pioneer Darrell Duppa chose the city's name as the new town would be born from the ashes of a former civilization, similar to the legendary phoenix bird. Popular attractions in the city include the 16,000-acre South Mountain Park and Preserve — one of the country's largest urban parks — and the Heard Museum of American Indian art. It's also one of only 13 cities in the country with pro sports teams in the MLB, NBA, NFL, and NHL.
