About location

Among the cities of Arizona, Chandler stands out for its transformation from an agricultural community into a major technology and manufacturing centre in the Phoenix metropolitan area. It occupies the southeastern Salt River Valley, a broad desert basin shaped by irrigation and suburban growth. Loop 202, also called the Santan Freeway, runs through the city and links local districts with the wider freeway network; Dobson Road is a major north–south route. Chandler was founded in 1912 by veterinary surgeon Alexander John Chandler, whose canal and town development helped establish the community. Downtown Chandler retains its historic core and includes the Chandler Center for the Arts, while large employment campuses underline the city’s modern economic role.

Arizona is renowned in the United States for the Grand Canyon, carved by the Colorado River in the state’s north. Its terrain extends from the Sonoran Desert, where saguaro cacti define the south, to ponderosa pine forests and the high plateaus of the Colorado Plateau. The red-rock country around Sedona and the sandstone buttes of Monument Valley are enduring symbols of the American Southwest. Indigenous heritage remains central: Arizona is home to 22 federally recognized tribes, including the Navajo Nation and Hopi Tribe. Historic Route 66 also passes through northern communities such as Flagstaff and Kingman. Discover other points of interest through webcams located across Arizona.

The Atlantic, Pacific and Gulf coasts define much of the United States — their ports, fisheries and trade routes have long tied the country’s economy to the wider world. Between them, the Rocky Mountains, Great Plains and Mississippi River basin form sharply different regions, from high western ranges to broad agricultural heartlands. Cities carry much of the national story: New York’s Statue of Liberty, a gift from France dedicated in 1886, remains an enduring symbol, while Washington, DC concentrates major federal institutions. Indigenous nations have shaped these lands for millennia, and their living cultures remain essential to the country’s identity.
