History of
Chandler, Arizona:
In 1891, Dr. A.J.
Chandler settled on an 18,000-acre ranch in the area of
Arizona real estate that is now called Chandler today. Dr.
Chandler was the first veterinary surgeon in Arizona. He was
an insightful individual and soon developed an irrigation
system on his ranch. He helped lead the way in innovative
ideas for irrigation and canals in the valley. Unfortunately,
as the valley grew and water became more and more valuable,
landowners were told that they would be allocated only enough
water for 160 acres.
It was at this time that
Dr. Chandler decided to subdivide his ranch. He hired an
architect and planner to develop plans for a town. Then in
1912, he began advertising his new town. The first individuals
interested in purchasing land headed out to the Chandler,
Arizona real estate on rail. The Eastern Railroad had just
been completed between Phoenix and Florence and it was used to
transport prospective residents. On the very first day of
sales, he sold $50,000 worth of real estate in land alone.
This dramatic sale
boosted his optimism in the town and encouraged Dr. Chandler
to build a beautiful hotel.
Even after the successful
opening of the lots and the San Marcos Hotel, the town grew
slowly. Ostrich ranches also appeared. Ostrich feathers were
needed for women's hats, which were popular at that time. A
pound of ostrich feathers was worth as much as 250 dollars.
The town remained an agricultural town up until, 1920 when it
was incorporated. Dr. Chandler served as the first mayor.
However, when World War
II began the government chose to build Williams Air Force Base
in Chandler. This resulted in more people coming to to live
here. Chandler received the status of city in 1954. In the
1980's, Chandler's government decided to put into action a
public improvement plan in order to have the framework of
roads and utilities in place for the predicted growth.
