History of Phoenix

In 1867, Jack Swilling of Wickenburg discovered that the land in Phoenix was great for farming, so he built canal systems to revitalize the city. Phoenix rose from the ashes of an ancient civilization to become the seventh largest city in the United States.

A century after its founding, Phoenix was in the full swing of said rise almost overnight it became an exotic desert destination and its nightlife scene exploded. At the same time, it began collecting its impressive sports franchises, beginning with the Phoenix Suns in 1968.
