Grand Canyon Village

Discover the village on the Grand Canyon's South Rim.

The Grand Canyon Village is a town with approximately 2,000 residents in Coconino County on the South Rim of the Grand Canyon. This town was founded along with the railroad which stretches from Williams, Arizona, to the canyon’s rim. Santa Fe Railroad was built in 1901 and the town now accommodates tourists coming to the Grand Canyon.

Many of the buildings stand as a historic reminder of the town’s origins in the early 1900s, and the area has also been designated a National Historic Landmark District. Some of the historic buildings still standing include the Grand Canyon Railroad Depot (built in 1901), the El Tovar Hotel and Stables, the Grand Canyon Power House (built in 1926), the Buck O’Neil Cabin (the oldest structure on the South Rim), the Hopi House, and the Verkamp’s Curio Store (a two-story, mission-style building that sold Native American crafts and souvenirs).  

The Grand Canyon Shuttle offers transportation from the North and South Rim of the canyon to the Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport 365 days a year. The Grand Canyon Railway still connects with Williams Depot in Williams, Arizona, and there are RV parks, campsites, and hotels to accommodate every type of visitor.
