Welcome to the Newto News for March of 2025. My name is Zack Cockfield, and my team and I created Newtomedia as a way for visitors or new residents to get information about a city. Each month we bring together resources that will update you on the history, amenities, culture, future opportunities and all other things inside a city that make it unique. We also hope to be a resource for connecting you with people and businesses that can help you live a better life. If you find our efforts useful, please click on the links to get more information!

Phoenix, Arizona, known as the “Valley of the Sun,” has a rich history dating back thousands of years to the Native American tribes who first inhabited the area. The Hohokam people were the earliest known settlers, building complex irrigation systems to support their agricultural society. Spanish explorers arrived in the 16th century, followed by American pioneers in the 19th century. In 1868, Jack Swilling established a small farming community in the Salt River Valley, which eventually grew into the bustling city of Phoenix. The city became the capital of the Arizona Territory in 1889 and continued to expand with the arrival of the railroad and the completion of the Roosevelt Dam in the early 20th century. Today, Phoenix is the fifth largest city in the United States and a major economic hub in the Southwest. The city boasts a diverse population, vibrant arts and culture scene, and a thriving economy driven by industries such as technology, healthcare, and tourism.
