Mesa
The United States of America is a country in North America that extends from the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific Ocean and shares land borders with Canada and Mexico. The United States is a federal constitutional republic, with its capital in Washington, D.C., District of Columbia.
Mesa is a city in Maricopa County, Arizona and part of the Phoenix-Mesa-Scottsdale Metropolitan Area. It is the third-largest city in Arizona, after Phoenix and Tucson.
Mesa is one of the United States' fastest-growing cities, and currently ranks as the 41st-largest. In 2005 the mid-decade Census survey estimated the city's population to be 442,780. Though a suburban city, Mesa actually has a larger population than better-known cities such as St. Louis, Missouri, Miami, Florida and Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Despite its large population, Mesa has a decidedly bedroom-community, sprawl like character. Its downtown is minimal, and there are very few buildings in Mesa with more than two stories. Nevertheless, the recently completed Mesa Arts Center may help invigorate downtown Mesa. The city is also home to many gated retirement communities, which may explain the large percentage of senior citizens in the population.
According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 324.2 square kilometers. 323.7 square kilometers of it is land and 0.6 square kilometers of it is water. In the city the population was spread out with 27.3 percent under the age of 18, 11.2 percent from 18 to 24, 29.7 percent from 25 to 44, 18.4 percent from 45 to 64, and 13.3 percent who were 65 years of age or older. The median age was 32 years. For every 100 females there were 98.2 males. For every 100 females age 18 and over, there were 95.6 males.
Attraction in Mesa is HoHoKam Park Cactus League, Mesa Arts Center, Mesa Amphitheatre, Mesa Arizona Temple, Arizona Museum for Youth, Commemorative Air Force Arizona Wing Aircraft Museum B-17 Sentimental Journey and many more.
Mesa is said the place of best geographical environment and can trace its origins back to prehistoric times. It enjoys a very positive reputation with worldwide travelers.
