Scottsdale is located on the eastern part of Maricopa County in the Sonoran Desert right at the foot of the magnificent McDowell Mountains. The city is a part of the Greater Phoenix Area and was named after its founder (Winfield Scott) in 1894. Mr. Scott was a retired chaplain with the U.S. Army. Scottsdale was incorporated in 1951 at a time when it had only 2,000 residents. Based on recent population estimates, more than 258,069 people lived in Scottsdale as of 2019. Scottsdale – whose slogan is ‘The West’s Most Western Town’, is 31 miles long and 11.4 miles wide. It borders many other urban areas, including Phoenix, Paradise Valley, and Carefree. Scottsdale shares a boundary with the Tonto National Forest on its northern part and Tempe on its southern boundary.
