Maricopa has over 43,000 people now, Eloy 12,000, Casa Grande 50,000, Florence 26,000, Coolidge 10,000 and more...Pinal County (the county between the two cities) has suburbs of Phoenix sprawling in from the north and suburbs of Tucson sprawling up from the south, and the population has surged thusly:
1970 67,916
1980 90,918
1990 116,379
2000 179,727
2010 375,770
