What Are the Largest U.S. Cities by Area?

Sprawling across the northeast Sonoran Desert and surrounded by postcard-perfect mountains, Phoenix ranks as the nation's No. 10 largest city by land area.

Phoenix is also the fifth-biggest city in the U.S. in terms of population, as well as the most populous state capital. Its earliest inhabitants were the Hohokam peoples, who had a strong presence in the area until around 1450. European settlers established the site that would become Phoenix in the early 1860s. According to legend, pioneer Darrell Duppa chose the city's name as the new town would be born from the ashes of a former civilization, similar to the legendary phoenix bird. Popular attractions in Phoenix include the 16,000-acre South Mountain Park and Preserve — one of the country's largest urban parks — and the Heard Museum of American Indian art.
