Sedona is a special and unique place. With the awe-inspiring red rock formations plus the splendor and diversity of Oak Creek Canyon, it is considered a locality equal or superior to many national parks. The City of Sedona was incorporated in 1988 and is one of Arizona’s premier tourism, recreation, resort, retirement, and art centers, all of which contribute to its economic base.

Its history is that of a rural ranching community, far off the beaten track. But its beauty became known through the motion picture industry with such classic films as John Wayne’s “The Angel and the Badman,” and Robert Mitchum’s “Blood on the Moon.” Today, many commercials and television shows are filmed in the rural area surrounding the city, and the community plays host to over 4 million tourists from around the world.

Sedona has something for everyone. World class resorts, fine restaurants, and diverse art galleries. The beauty and climate of the area makes sightseeing and hiking, golf, tennis, horseback riding, and Jeep touring year-round activities. The citizens of Sedona are proud of their beautiful environment and work diligently to preserve its uniqueness and special qualities. Central to this effort is the role of achievement through volunteerism and the interest of controlling its own destiny through participation in city government.
