Welcome to the Newto News for March of 2024. 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, founded in 1868, has a rich history that dates back thousands of years. Originally inhabited by various Native American tribes, including the Hohokam, the area was known for its elaborate irrigation system that supported agriculture in the desert. In the late 19th century, Phoenix became a booming town with the arrival of the railroad and mining industries. The city was officially incorporated in 1881 and named after the mythical bird that rises from its own ashes, symbolizing the city’s rebirth and resilience. Throughout the 20th century, Phoenix experienced rapid growth, becoming the capital of Arizona in 1912 when it achieved statehood. The city continued to expand with the development of industries such as aerospace, technology, and tourism. Today, Phoenix is the fifth-largest city in the United States, known for its vibrant cultural scene, outdoor recreational opportunities, and diverse population. Its sunny climate and booming economy make it a popular destination for visitors and a thriving metropolis for its residents.
