Sedona is located in Arizona's high desert under the towering southwestern rim of the vast Colorado Plateau. Located approximately two hours north of Phoenix, and one hour south of Flagstaff, Sedona is blessed with four mild seasons marked by abundant sunshine and clean, fresh air that assures good year-round weather for residents, vacationers and outdoor enthusiasts. Its location is strategically situated at the mouth of spectacular Oak Creek Canyon, and is a unique place, affording breathtaking panoramas. Characterized by massive red-rock formations, as well as the contrasting riparian areas of Oak Creek Canyon, the area surrounding this beloved community is considered at least as beautiful as many national parks. The community was established in 1902 and is named after the early settler Sedona Schnebly. As the story goes, after Theodore Carl (T.C.) Schnebly and his wife, Sedona, moved to Sedona from Gorin, Missouri, the few families living in the area convinced T.C. to establish a post office in his large home, which already had become the community's hotel. Various interpretations of this story suggest that he asked the government to name the post office Schnebly Station or Red Rock Crossing. Subsequently, he was told the names were too long, and following a suggestion by his brother, Dorsey Ellsworth Schnebly, he submitted his wife's name, Sedona, and the postmaster approved the name for the community. This 19-square-mile city is spread across the boundaries of two north-central Arizona counties, Coconino and Yavapai, with the majority of the population living in Yavapai County. Only 51 percent of its area is privately owned - the rest is part of the Coconino National Forest. The average age of Sedona's population, which totals approximately 10,000 within its incorporated limits, is 50 and the elevation generally is considered to be 4,500 feet, though well-known red rock formations extend to more than a mile high elevation. Today, the City of Sedona, incorporated in 1988, is one of Arizona's premier tourism, recreation, resort, retirement and art centers, and is among the most visited sites in the state. Historically, it was a rural ranching community located far off the beaten path, but its unsurpassed natural beauty became nationally known through the motion picture industry. Today, commercials and television shows still are filmed in the unsettled areas surrounding the city, which annually attracts more than three million tourists from around the world. With its state parks, historic sites and enticing attractions, the area offers a destination rich in history, with an abundance of activities and entertainment for all ages. In close proximity, the area boasts natural amenities such as the Grand Canyon, Dead Horse Ranch State Park, Slide Rock State Park, Tuzigoot National Monument and the historic mining communities of Clarkdale and Jerome, just to name a few. less
