Palo Verde is a small unincorporated community in Maricopa County, Arizona, located about 40 miles west of Phoenix, and 6 miles southwest of Buckeye. Palo Verde is included in the 85326 zipcode, which had a population of 22,018 as of the 2000 census. This zip code is shared with Buckeye, however, which accounts for the majority of the population.
Despite sharing a name, the Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station is actually located in nearby Wintersburg.
Palo Verde exists as a county island within the corporate boundaries of Buckeye. This precludes any possibility of incorporation for the community.
