Flagstaff history
Surrounded by vast Ponderosa pine forests and perched high on the
Colorado Plateau at the base of the majestic San Francisco Peaks,
Flagstaff offers a beautifully varied landscape of forests, high
deserts, lakes and volcanic craters. The scenery surrounding the
city is unparalleled in all of Arizona. The first settlers in the
area, drawn to the cool pine forests around 15,000 to 20,000 years
ago, shared the land with bison, antelope and camel, supporting
their people by hunting and foraging, until they settled into an
agricultural way of life with a diet of beans, squash and corn.
