âThe Western Victorian Cityâ. Prescott is located in Arizonaâs central mountains; four mild seasons offer just enough variation to make the weather interesting. Prescott is located 96 miles northwest of Phoenix and 90 miles southwest of Flagstaff, Arizona. The city was established in 1864, incorporated in 1881 and is the seat of government for Yavapai County. The city is named in honor of noted historian William Hickling Prescott.
Distance: 91.7 miles â¢ Elevation Change: Prescott 5400 ft.-Flagstaff 6907 ft. The road from Prescott to Flagstaff on Arizona Route 89A is among the most scenic drives in America. It is also a very dramatic transition from Arizonaâs central mountains to the Colorado Plateau. 89A begins five miles north of Prescott and climbs to the top of Mingus Mountain. From there the highway descends to Jerome and the Verde Valley. To follow the original route of 89A, continue straight at the roundabout between Jerome and Clarkdale. This will take you through Clarkdale and old town Cottonwood.
