Question: What city was the second capital of Arizona?

Answer: Tucson. Although Precott was the first territorial capital of Arizona in 1864, the territorial capital officially moved from Prescott to Tucson in November 1867. Tucson served as the seat of government for nearly a decade until the capital moved back to Prescott in 1877. Finally, Phoenix was declared the permanent capital in February 1889.
