History

Americans, Mexicans, and Spaniards were the first inhabitants of Arizona, where the Coconino National Forest is located. Although the population was low in Arizona, it was made a part of the Sonora municipal in Mexico in 1822. Later on, in 1848, Arizona fell under the U.S. after signing an agreement with Mexico in the Mexico Cession. Arizona became an independent state, and its economy developed due to the availability of copper, cotton, citrus, and cattle. The movement of the retirees from the northeast boosted the economy of the state even more since they were living at a low cost.

Located in Arizona, the Coconino National Forest stands at 1.856 million acres of land. The forest was initially founded in 1898 by President William McKinley and was known as San Francisco Mountains National Forest Reserve. The change was due to the request from the head of the U.S. Division of Forestry, Gifford Pinchot. In 1905, the forest Reserves were handed over to the Department of Agriculture and managed by the newly formed Forest Service. Later on, in 1908, the forest was merged with lands from the surrounding woods and became the Coconino National Forest. The ecology of the area comprises landscapes, flatlands, alpine tundra, desserts, and ancient volcanic peaks. Various trails, including Drano Trail, developed to help people navigate through these fantastic features.
