Phoenix (/ˈfiːnɪks/) is the capital, and largest city, of the state of Arizona. With 1,445,632 people (as of the 2010 U.S. Census), Phoenix is the most populous state capital in the United States, as well as the sixth most populous city nationwide.
Settled in 1867 as an agricultural community near the confluence of the Salt and Gila Rivers, Phoenix incorporated as a city in 1881. Located in the northeastern reaches of the Sonoran Desert, Phoenix has a subtropicaldesert climate. Despite this, its canal system led to a thriving farming community, many of the original crops remaining important parts of the Phoenix economy for decades, such as alfalfa, cotton, citrus and hay (which was important for the cattle industry). In fact, the "Five C's" (Cotton, Cattle, Citrus, Climate, and Copper), remained the driving forces of Phoenix's economy until after World War II, when high tech industries began to move into the valley.

City of Phoenix releases report into Wall Street Journal reporter's arrest
ABC15 Investigators have just received the first two police monitoring reports created by the City of Phoenix's Office of Accountability and Transparency. OAT was created by the city to monitor police use of force and misconduct allegations and can make recommendations for improvement. One report involved officers handcuffing a Wall Street Journal reporter, Dion Rabouin, who was stopped and handcuffed after he was interviewing people outside a bank. The officer involved was never asked whether race played a factor in his decision to detain the journalist, who is Black, according to the OAT report. OAT also noted a deviation from police policy for disciplining the involved officer, saying the officer received retraining instead of suspension because the incorrect policy was applied.
