The community is near the Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station, the largest power producer in the country, nuclear or otherwise. It is located on the Tonopah Desert. Many wells in Tonopah are warm, in the {{convert|70|°F}} to {{convert|95|°F}} range and many are hot; {{convert|110|°F}} to {{convert|120|°F}} wells are common. Prior to being called Tonopah, the settlement was known as Lone Peak. The area is also known to have been inhabited by groups of people for resource gathering area of the Hohokam, Patayan, and Yavapai Indians.

Incorporation effortsIn 2009, a political action committee named Tonopah United for Our Future (TUFF) filed paperwork with the county, proposing the incorporation of the area into a town.[5] The proposal ran into difficulties when the neighboring town of Buckeye voted to publicly oppose the measure. State law forbids the incorporation of a new city or town within a specified distance of existing municipalities without their approval,[6] and the proposed boundaries for Tonopah would abut the corporate boundaries of Buckeye, essentially giving Buckeye veto power over any incorporation efforts. In 2003, Buckeye had passed a measure approving of any future incorporation effort by Tonopah, but the current town council rescinded the measure, citing concerns that the proposal would extend the new town's boundaries east of the Hassayampa River and into area Buckeye intends to annex.[7] Council members did indicate that they were open to future incorporation efforts using the river as a boundary. Residents also expressed concern that the proposal was too ambitious and that the new town would be incapable of managing the {{convert|100|mi2|km2}} of land included in the proposal. Geographically it would be among the largest in the state, while estimates placed the population of the proposed town at approximately 6,000. Additionally, a number of residents opposed the plan because they believed large tax increases would be necessary to fund a new government. Ultimately the measure was defeated on March 10, 2009, by a vote of 523 against incorporation versus 356 in support.[8] Belmont{{main|Belmont, Arizona}}In November 2017, media outlets reported that a company associated with billionaire Bill Gates purchased {{convert|24800|acre|sqkm}} between Buckeye and Tonopah for $80 million. Gates's company plans to create a "smart city" called Belmont on the site.[9] Climate{{Weather box|location = Tonopah, Arizona (Elevation 1,300ft) |single line = Y |Jan record high F = 82 |Feb record high F = 91 |Mar record high F = 98 |Apr record high F = 105 |May record high F = 115 |Jun record high F = 121 |Jul record high F = 119 |Aug record high F = 117 |Sep record high F = 113 |Oct record high F = 104 |Nov record high F = 94 |Dec record high F = 87 |year record high F = 121 |Jan high F = 65.7 |Feb high F = 70.7 |Mar high F = 76.0 |Apr high F = 85.5 |May high F = 94.4 |Jun high F = 103.8 |Jul high F = 106.8 |Aug high F = 104.5 |Sep high F = 99.2 |Oct high F = 88.3 |Nov high F = 75.4 |Dec high F = 66.2 |year high F = 86.4 |Jan low F = 36.8 |Feb low F = 40.1 |Mar low F = 43.4 |Apr low F = 50.5 |May low F = 59.7 |Jun low F = 67.9 |Jul low F = 77.0 |Aug low F = 75.6 |Sep low F = 67.1 |Oct low F = 55.1 |Nov low F = 43.2 |Dec low F = 36.5 |year low F = 54.4 |Jan record low F = 17 |Feb record low F = 22 |Mar record low F = 23 |Apr record low F = 26 |May record low F = 41 |Jun record low F = 49 |Jul record low F = 60 |Aug record low F = 54 |Sep record low F = 42 |Oct record low F = 35 |Nov record low F = 16 |Dec record low F = 14 |year record low F= 14 | precipitation colour = green |Jan precipitation inch = 1.08 |Feb precipitation inch = 0.88 |Mar precipitation inch = 0.75 |Apr precipitation inch = 0.27 |May precipitation inch = 0.05 |Jun precipitation inch = 0.06 |Jul precipitation inch = 0.62 |Aug precipitation inch = 1.18 |Sep precipitation inch = 0.57 |Oct precipitation inch = 0.44 |Nov precipitation inch = 0.61 |Dec precipitation inch = 1.13 |year precipitation inch= 7.63 |Jan snow inch = 0 |Feb snow inch = 0 |Mar snow inch = 0 |Apr snow inch = 0 |May snow inch = 0 |Jun snow inch = 0 |Jul snow inch = 0 |Aug snow inch = 0 |Sep snow inch = 0 |Oct snow inch = 0 |Nov snow inch = 0 |Dec snow inch = 0 |year snow inch = 0 |source 1 = The Western Regional Climate Center[10] |date=November 2013 }} In popular cultureThe chorus of the song "Willin'" by Lowell George of Little Feat on the albums Little Feat, Sailin' Shoes and Waiting for Columbus refers to either Tonopah, Arizona or Tonopah, Nevada: {{blockquote|And I've been from Tucson to Tucumcari, Tehachapi to Tonopah.I've driven every kind of rig that's ever been made; driven the backroads so I wouldn't get weighed.}} References1. ^{{cite web|title=2016 U.S. Gazetteer Files|url=https://www2.census.gov/geo/docs/maps-data/data/gazetteer/2016_Gazetteer/2016_gaz_place_04.txt|publisher=United States Census Bureau|accessdate=July 18, 2017}} 2. ^{{cite web|url=https://www.census.gov/programs-surveys/popest/data/tables.2016.html|title=Population and Housing Unit Estimates|accessdate=June 9, 2017}} 3. ^{{cite web|url=https://www.census.gov/prod/www/decennial.html|title=Census of Population and Housing|publisher=Census.gov|accessdate=June 4, 2016}} 4. ^http://factfinder2.census.gov/faces/tableservices/jsf/pages/productview.xhtml?pid=DEC_10_PL_GCTPL2.ST13&prodType=table 5. ^{{cite news|url=http://www.azcentral.com/community/swvalley/articles/2009/03/06/20090306swv-tonopah0307.html|title=Vote to incorporate Tonopah likely to be challenged|publisher=The Arizona Republic|first=Eric|last=Graf|date=March 7, 2009|accessdate=June 12, 2009}} 6. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.azleg.gov/FormatDocument.asp?inDoc=/ars/9/00101-01.htm&Title=9&DocType=ARS|title=§9-101.01|publisher=Arizona Revised Statutes|accessdate=June 21, 2008}} 7. ^{{cite news|url=http://www.azcentral.com/community/swvalley/articles/2009/02/06/20090206swv-towncouncil0207.html|title=Buckeye says 'No' to Tonopah as a town|first=Eric|last=Graf|date=February 6, 2009|accessdate=June 12, 2009|publisher=The Arizona Republic}} 8. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.azcentral.com/elections/index.php?pgDate=20090310|title=Election Results : March 2009 Election|date=March 10, 2009|accessdate=June 12, 2009|publisher=The Arizona Republic}} 9. ^"Bill Gates invests $80 million to build Arizona smart city," http://money.cnn.com/2017/11/13/technology/future/bill-gates-smart-city-arizona/index.html, accessed 16 Jan 2018 10. ^{{cite web| url =http://www.wrcc.dri.edu/cgi-bin/cliMAIN.pl?az8641| title =Seasonal Temperature and Precipitation Information | accessdate =November 18, 2013 | publisher =Western Regional Climate Center | language = }} Further reading
