Chilchinbito (Navajo: Tsiiłchin Biiʼ Tó) is a town located on the Navajo Nation, whose lands spans four state boundary lines in the Four Corners region of the United States. The town of Chilchinbito is a census-designated place (CDP) specifically in Navajo County, Arizona, United States. The population was 506 at the 2010 census. Chilchinbito is also considered to be the source of coronavirus infections on the Navajo Nation, possibly traced to the annual meeting of the Church of the Nazarene’s numerous branches, on March 7, 2020. COVID-19 federal relief funds for medical care on the Navajo Nation were being redirected to a non-Native for-profit corporation, and a legal suit is pending.
