El Mirage
Though once considered a remote cattle outpost, the quaint town of El Mirage, Arizona is now nearly a suburb of Phoenix – a city that is expanding at a previously unimaginable pace. Located in the Valley of the Sun’s northwest corner, El Mirage is just south of some of the largest retirement communities in the United States: Sun City, Sun City West, and Sun City Grand.
It’s also located near some of metro-Phoenix’s largest and most majestic parks, which encompass thousands of acres of land – some of the most spectacular scenery you’re ever likely to see.

History
The earliest inhabitants of El Mirage were the Hohokam, a Native American community that still plays a role in the culture of the town. The Hohokam are known for being skilled irrigation farmers and found ingenious ways to bring water to their crops in dry Arizona. In the early 1930s, migrant farm workers began settling in what is now known as El Mirage. Its location on the Agua Fria River made it an ideal place to settle. The farmers founded the city in 1937, in order to “provide stability and education for future generations.” In 1951, the city was officially incorporated and has seen booming population and economic growth since the 1990s.
El Mirage is part of the Greater Maricopa Foreign Trade Zone (FTZ). The FTZ is a zone where domestic and foreign goods can be sold, stored or assembled while being exempt from US Customs excise taxes and duties.
