Description

Like the mythical bird it is known as after, Phoenix rose from the desert heat to develop into a prosperous and essential city. Settled at the lands of the ancient Hohokam Indians, Phoenix started as an agricultural community within the 1860s. It was once appointed county seat
of Maricopa County in 1871 and territorial capital in 1889. By 1900, town boosters were calling Phoenix an “Oasis within the Desert” and the “Denver of the Southwest.” By 1920, Phoenix was once on its option to being a metropolitan city with a population of 29,053 and sporting an eight-story “skyscraper.” Many farsighted individuals documented this development through photographs, allowing these days’s residents to peer the community’s amazing growth from small town to big city.
