Grand Canyon Village, AZ.

Grand Canyon Village is a community of 1,914 in Coconino County, and breakdowns here happen on county roads and in yards more often than on an interstate. That changes the job: there is usually somewhere safe to work, and the drive out to you is the part that takes the time.

Grand Canyon Village is a census-designated place (CDP) located on the South Rim of the Grand Canyon, in Coconino County, Arizona, United States. Its population was 2,004 at the 2010 Census. Located in Grand Canyon National Park, it is wholly focused on accommodating tourists visiting the canyon. Its origins trace back to the railroad completed from Williams, to the canyon's South Rim by the Santa Fe Railroad in 1901. Many of the structures in use today date from that period. The village contains numerous landmark buildings, and its historic core is a National Historic Landmark District, designated for its outstanding implementation of town design. The Grand Canyon Village Historic District includes numerous landmark park structures, many of which are National Historic Landmarks themselves, or are listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The town design as a whole is also significant for its attention to integration with the Grand Canyon landscape, its incorporation of National Park Service Rustic design elements, and for the idiosyncratic design of park concessioner structures such as the El Tovar Hotel.

The trucks that cover Grand Canyon Village also run Red Lake, Tuba City, Parks, and Moenkopi, out to about 55 miles at Williams. So a call from the edge of Coconino County reaches the same people as one from the middle of town, and you are not handed off to a different dispatcher because of a county line.
