Eloy is a city in the county of Pinal, Arizona. Located at the geographical location of 32.763611 degrees north latitude and 111.6 degrees west longitude, it is approximately 65 miles southeast of Phoenix and 50 miles northwest of Tucson. The history of the city dates back to 1880, when boxcars were uses as a camp for railroad workers who were laying tracks for the Southern Pacific Railroad. Soon, it was discovered that the climate in the area was suitable for growing cotton.
In 1902, the area's train stop was named Eloy by the Southern Pacific Railroad. This was an acronym for East Line Of Yuma. However, legend has it that the name of the city was once Eloi, after a railroad worker said, "Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani?" – My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? – while looking around at the barren desert. In 1918, the town of Cotton City was established, but its name was changed to Eloy in 1919. In 1949, Eloy was incorporated as a city. As of the 2019 estimate, the city has a population of 19,625 people.
