Northern Arizona Council of Government (NACOG)

NACOG is a nonprofit membership corporation that represents rural local governments within the four Arizona counties of Apache, Coconino, Navajo, and Yavapai. This vast four-county region covers approximately 48,000 square miles and had a combined population of 318,375 in the 2010 Census. Thus it encompasses about 42 percent of Arizona’s area but accounts for only 8 percent of the state’s population. This planning area is larger than the state of Pennsylvania (as well as 18 other states). NACOG’s member jurisdictions include the four counties, 22 municipalities, and seven Native American tribes.
