About Phoenix, Arizona
Phoenix, a city of 1,608,139 people in the Salt River Valley, is both Arizona's capital and the county seat of Maricopa County. For 2,000 years the Hohokam farmed this desert with roughly 135 miles of hand-dug canals, until drought and floods between 1300 and 1450 likely drove them away. In 1867 Jack Swilling, a Confederate veteran prospecting out of Wickenburg, spotted the worn mounds of their old ditches and started a canal company to grow food for the mining town.
Lord Darrell Duppa, who came with Swilling, proposed the name Phoenix, since the new town was rising from the ruins of an older people. Yavapai County recognized it on May 4, 1868, and Swilling became its first postmaster. In October 1870 residents chose a new townsite three miles west, and the lots sold there from that December set out the downtown grid. On February 25, 1881, Governor John C. Fremont signed the charter bill that made Phoenix a city of about 2,500 people.
- Capital since 1889The territorial capital moved from Prescott in 1889. James Riely Gordon won the design contest, but short funds cut the legislative wings and shrank his dome. The territory took the building on May 1, 1900, without a cornerstone, to avoid a ceremony in summer heat. Arizona became the 48th state on February 14, 1912. Lawmakers left in 1960 and the governor in 1974, when it joined the National Register; it reopened as the Arizona Capitol Museum in 1981.
- A dam for water and powerPresident Theodore Roosevelt signed the National Reclamation Act in 1902, and work on the first dam built under it, Salt River Dam #1, began in 1903 in the mountains east of Phoenix. It gave the valley both water and electricity, the first dam made to do both jobs, and it was then the largest masonry dam in the world. Roosevelt came to dedicate it on May 18, 1911, and the dam took his name in 1917.
- Skyscrapers of the 1920sStatehood sped the city's growth: by 1920 Phoenix had 29,053 people, and that year the Heard Building went up as its first skyscraper. It stood as the tallest building in Arizona until the Luhrs Building was finished in 1924. The population nearly doubled over the decade and reached 48,118 by 1930.
- Sousa at the courthouseMaricopa County and Phoenix teamed up to build a courthouse and city hall, two joined buildings in one style filling a whole block. At the cornerstone laying, Senator Carl Hayden spoke and John Philip Sousa led the Marine Corps Band. The two governments spent $1,200,000 and moved in on June 23, 1929. Terra cotta phoenix birds guard the city doors on Second Avenue, and a sixth-floor cell block has held the Maricopa County Justice Museum since 2012.
- A duel decided the sheriffThe territorial legislature split Maricopa County off from Yavapai County on February 12, 1871, and the new county held its first election that year. Two of the three men running for sheriff, John A. Chenowth and Jim Favorite, settled their rivalry with a duel. Chenowth killed Favorite and had to drop out, so Tom Barnum ran alone and became the county's first sheriff.
