Cemeteries in Coconino County (County)
Arizona, United States
Coconino County, Arizona, established in 1891, is the second-largest county by area in the United States.
Originally home to Indigenous peoples including the Hopi, Navajo, Havasupai, and Hualapai, the region came under Spanish, Mexican, and eventually U.S. control following the Mexican-American War. Early American settlers in the late 19th century were drawn to the area’s timber, ranching, and railroad opportunities, particularly around Flagstaff, which later became the county seat. The arrival of the Atlantic and Pacific Railroad spurred economic growth and migration. Coconino County is also home to natural landmarks such as the Grand Canyon, which became a national park in 1919.
Cemeteries like Citizens Cemetery in Flagstaff and Pioneer Cemetery near Grand Canyon Village preserve the stories of early settlers, railroad workers, and Native communities that shaped the region’s frontier legacy.
