Sun City
Del Webb was among Arizona’s foremost builders. His fame in the ‘60s came from turning a 10,000-acre cotton field into Sun City. Some of the things included in Sun City were a golf course, a shopping center, rec center and restaurant.
Sun City opened on January 1, 1960, but people were unsure how quickly the lots would sell. The community became an immediate success with most of the residents loving it.
Governor Hunt
Arizona’s first governor might be the most memorable, if not the most recognizable. George Wiley Paul Hunt was born in 1859 in Huntsville, Missouri. He made his way to Arizona in 1881.
It was in Globe, Arizona, that Hunt found his calling for politics. Hunt was elected preside over the Arizona Constitutional Convention in 1910. When Arizona became a state, Hunt became its first governor.
Falcon Field
Every year at a cemetery in Mesa, former British pilots return to remember the men who died while training at Falcon Field during World War II.
Today, Falcon Field airport is home for nearly 1,000 aircrafts and multiple businesses. Very little remains of the site where the RAF cadets lived and trained.
The Rosson House
While the restored Victorian Rosson House is an elegant reminder of the past, the house did not always stand so proudly. The house was completed in 1895, after Flora Rosson had bought the land in 1882 for $1,000. The Rosson family only lived in the house for a short time before renting it to Whitelaw Reid, an influential New York newspaper man.
