The City of Safford is a municipal government located in the Gila Valley of southeastern Arizona and serves as the region's primary urban center in Graham County. It operates across multiple departments and supports a local workforce that handles city services and governance. As the provider of essential infrastructure for residents and neighboring communities, it maintains gas, water, electric, sewer, and sanitation utilities, and it also runs a landfill and an airport. The city's historic downtown acts as the area's main entertainment district, and the municipality serves a population of just over ten thousand, making it the largest in the county. Founded as a town in 1901 and later incorporated as a city in 1955, Safford is positioned as a central hub for public services in its region. In 2024 the city engaged Willdan Financial Services to conduct a comprehensive study of utility and service rates, reflecting ongoing efforts to assess and optimize its infrastructure and pricing for residents and nearby communities.
