The City of Cottonwood was established in the 1870's as an agricultural community and incorporated in 1960. The City is located within Yavapai County with a population of 12,296 (2022) and encompasses 27.4 square miles (17,576 acres) within its corporate boundaries.

The Cottonwood Municipal Airport (FAA location identifier: P52) is located in the City of Cottonwood. The Airport is located in the northwestern portion of the City of Cottonwood, approximately 40 miles southwest of the Flagstaff metropolitan area and 100 miles north of the Phoenix metropolitan area. The Airport covers approximately 210 acres.

Cottonwood Municipal Airport, originally known as Clemenceau Airport, opened in 1929. The Airport was initially privately owned and included a 3,600-foot dirt runway, one hangar, and an office facility. In 1940, the Airport was acquired by Yavapai County in order to establish a county airport and oversee future improvements, maintenance, and operations. In the 1940's, Clemenceau Airport hosted primary flight training schools for both the Army and the Navy. After World War II, the Airport offered pilot training, charter air services, scenic rides , and aircraft sales and maintenance services. In 1968, the newly incorporated Town of Cottonwood (which became the City of Cottonwood in 1987) acquired the Airport from Yavapai County and has since operated the Airport through direct management and/or lease agreements with private entities.
