The Maricopa County Board of Supervisors is the governing body of Maricopa County, a county of over four million in Arizona. The five supervisors [1] are each elected from single-member districts to serve four-year terms. Primary elections and general elections take place in years divisible by four. [2] Vacancies are filled by appointment by remaining members of the board; a member of the same party of the departing member must be selected. [3]

The Board usually meets two Wednesdays every month in the Supervisor's Auditorium at the Maricopa County Complex in Phoenix, Arizona. Members of the public are invited to attend these meetings.

As of January 2025, Thomas Galvin is the board's chairman. [4]

History

Maricopa County, created out of Yavapai County, was officially established on February 14, 1871. The county is named after the Maricopa Indians, who were known to have inhabited the area as early as 1775. The geographical boundaries were last modified in 1881 and have not changed since. [22]

The Arizona Territory was created in 1863, and the initial counties were Yavapai, Pima, Yuma, and Mohave counties.
