Paradise Valley was once expected to become the agricultural rival of its neighbor the Salt River Valley. Paradise's long quest to irrigate using water from the Verde River shaped its early history and ended in an angry event where effigies were hanged and burned. Find the stories and learn about the people behind the intriguing early years of Paradise Valley, Arizona in this video by Ed Dobbins and John Augustine.

January 1 1962 Moved all the way out into the county from Phoenix. 40th st .Desert Cove. Greenway grade School. Shea was a two lane road that ended in a jeep trail just East of Scottsdale rd. Moved to horse property in Sunburst Farms 54th st Sweetwater 1969. I miss it. It is gone forever. It did not fall into decline and decay like so much of Phoenix did but the character is long gone I am in my 70s and I was in 5th grade when we moved into that brand new house on New Years 1962. I feel fortunate.

Born and raised here. I'm 70. Road my horses across Greenway and Bell Roads when they were dirt. Parents had a 5-acre place on 27th St just north of Greenway. It was nice then. It's not so nice now. I remember the Post Office of Cactus.

That area is a nightmare now. Far East Valley is the only place around the Valley I can tolerate anymore

I remember when they built the Cave Creek Dam in 1979. My aunt lived on 28th St and Angela just north of Bell Road. Plenty of wide-open horse riding back then.

Hey I recognize that voice 😄😄 Long time no see! My stepdad Kevin said this video popped up on his suggested videos on RU-vid and so he sent it to me! Hope you and the family are doing well! Looking forward to learning a thing or two about local history from you on here! -Morgan Poindexter

The first photo shows the McDowell Mountains, looking east. The last peak on the left is the one that has the huge radio tower today.

2nd comment - thanks so much for the effort you put into this video. I live in this area and have always wondered about what came before all of these suburbs!

@seanbrogdon9174 Год назад

Great video. I was thinking a history of Shaw butte and info. about Cloud 9 would make a great video.

@buddypvaz124 2 месяца назад

I grew up in that desolate wasteland and I can attest that it was teeming with life.

@samantha42042 2 месяца назад

@@buddypvaz124 lol. I was raised in south Phoenix. There's over 2000 species of plants life native to the Sonoran desert. However a sun baked plain of creosote bushes and cactus is hardly paradise. On my grandfather's south Phoenix property there was oranges grapefruit lemons grapes almonds pecans palmogranets figs olives and pine trees. The grass was green and thick. It's amazing what will grow in that desert if you give it water. It's a paradise now. A hot one tho. So don't came at me with that I'm from here attitude!

@samantha42042 2 месяца назад

@@buddypvaz124 it's actually not a paradise at all! It's a RAT RACE! A crowded rat race where everyone wants to run everyone else over. A hell hole where everyone wants to be first! And they call it PARADISE VALLEY LOL. Yeah okay
