'''Coconino County''' is a [[County (United States)|county]] in the  [[North Central Arizona|North-Central]] part of the [[U.S. state]] of [[Arizona]]. Its population was 145,101 at the [[2020 United States census|2020 census]].<ref name="QF">{{cite web |title=State & County QuickFacts |url=https://www.census.gov/quickfacts/fact/table/coconinocountyarizona/PST045221 |publisher=United States Census Bureau |access-date=September 27, 2022}}</ref> The [[county seat]] is [[Flagstaff, Arizona|Flagstaff]].<ref name="GR6">{{cite web |url=http://www.naco.org/Counties/Pages/FindACounty.aspx |access-date=June 7, 2011 |title=Find a County |publisher=National Association of Counties |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110531210815/http://www.naco.org/Counties/Pages/FindACounty.aspx |archive-date=May 31, 2011}}</ref> The county takes its name from ''Cohonino'',<ref>{{cite web |url=http://coconino.az.gov/index.aspx?NID=427 |title=History of Coconino |access-date=May 26, 2014 |archive-date=January 17, 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170117173300/http://www.coconino.az.gov/index.aspx?NID=427 |url-status=dead }}</ref> a name applied to the [[Havasupai]] people. It is the [[List of the largest counties in the United States by area|second-largest county by area]] in the [[contiguous United States]], behind [[San Bernardino County, California]]. It has {{cvt|18661|sqmi|km2|sigfig=3}}, or 16.4% of Arizona's total area, and is larger than the nine smallest states in the U.S.

Coconino County comprises the Flagstaff [[metropolitan statistical area]], [[Grand Canyon National Park]], the federally recognized [[Havasupai]] Nation, and parts of the federally recognized [[Navajo Nation|Navajo]], [[Hualapai]], and [[Hopi]] nations. As a result, its relatively large [[Native Americans in the United States|Native American]] population makes up nearly 30% of the county's total population; it is mostly Navajo, with smaller numbers of other tribes.

The county was the setting for [[George Herriman]]'s early 20th-century ''[[Krazy Kat]]'' comic strip.

==History==
{{Unreferenced section|date=December 2021}}
After European Americans completed the [[Atlantic & Pacific Railroad]] in 1883, the region of northern [[Yavapai County]] began to undergo rapid growth. The people of the northern reaches had tired of the rigors of traveling to [[Prescott, Arizona|Prescott]] to conduct county business. They believed that they should have their own county jurisdiction, so petitioned in 1887 for secession from Yavapai and creation of a new Frisco County. This did not take place, but Coconino County was formed in 1891 and its seat was designated as Flagstaff.

==Geography==
According to the [[United States Census Bureau]], the county has a total area of {{convert|18661|sqmi}}, of which {{convert|18619|sqmi}} are land and {{convert|43|sqmi}} (0.2%) are covered by water.<ref name="GR1">{{cite web |url=http://www2.census.gov/geo/docs/maps-data/data/gazetteer/counties_list_04.txt |publisher=United States Census Bureau |access-date=August 23, 2015 |date=August 23, 2012 |title=2010 Census Gazetteer Files}}</ref> It is the largest county by area in Arizona and the second-largest county in the United States (excluding [[List of boroughs and census areas in Alaska|boroughs in Alaska]]) after [[San Bernardino County, California|San Bernardino County]] in [[California]]. It has more land area than each of the following states: [[Connecticut]], [[Delaware]], [[Hawaii]], [[Maryland]], [[Massachusetts]], [[New Hampshire]], [[New Jersey]], [[Rhode Island]], and [[Vermont]].

The highest natural point in the county, as well as the entire state, is [[Humphreys Peak]] at {{cvt|12,637|ft|m|disp=or}}. The Barringer [[Meteor Crater]] is located in Coconino County.

==Politics==
Coconino County has trended towards the Democratic Party in modern times after being a Republican stronghold between the 1950s and 1980s. It was won by every Republican presidential nominee between 1952 and 1988; however, no Republican since [[George H. W. Bush]] in 1988 has managed to come within 6% of reclaiming the county. It is the only county from any state west of the Mississippi River{{snd}}apart from [[Black Belt in the American South|Black Belt]] [[Madison Parish, Louisiana|Madison Parish]], which is directly adjacent to that river{{snd}}that voted for [[Barry Goldwater]] in 1964 but has since voted for the Democratic nominee in the eight most recent presidential elections.
The Flagstaff area is a Democratic stronghold, along with all the Indian Reservations (though some of these saw Republican trends in 2024), and the city of Sedona also leans Democratic. The Havasupai Reservation is the most Democratic area in the county, having voted close to 90% Democratic in the 2024 election. The cities of Williams and Page and surrounding areas, on the other hand, trend Republican.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2025/us/elections/2024-election-map-precinct-results.html?unlocked_article_code=1.qk4.9CUE.eUcpg0mNRL9r&smid=url-share | title=An Extremely Detailed Map of the 2024 Election | work=The New York Times | date=January 15, 2025 | last1=Datar | first1=Saurabh | last2=Marcus | first2=Ilana | last3=Murray | first3=Eli | last4=Singer | first4=Ethan | last5=Lemonides | first5=Alex | last6=Zhang | first6=Christine }}</ref>
