Prescott thrives at a cool 5,300 feet situated in a volcanic basin bordered on the south and southwest sides by National Forest. Thumb Butte is our favorite in-town landmark and Granite Mountain looms above the northwest side of town in horse country. The sheer walls of pink granite in the Granite Dells grace the northern entrance to Prescott.
Prescott, which was founded in 1864, has a population of approximately 36,000 while Prescott Valley, located 8 miles to the east, has about 27,000 and Chino Valley, 15 miles to the north, about 7,000.
Prescott has a rural hometown atmosphere with the latest in technology. A wonderful newly built mall that will satisfy all your shopping needs.
