Tolchico, also known as Tolchaco or Tolchiko, is a populated place situated in Coconino County, Arizona, United States.[1] Tolchico is derived from tolchiko, which is the Navajo term for the Colorado River. The name became official as a result of a Board on Geographic Names decision in April 1915. It has an estimated elevation of 4669feet above sea level.
In the 1880s Hermann Woolf kept a trading post here, termed Tolchico, Navajo for "river ford". Consequently, the ford here is referred to as Wolf Crossing.[2]
