History: In 1891, Dr. A.J. Chandler settled on an 18,000-acre ranch in the area 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. Dr. Chandler 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, Dr. Chandler began advertising his new home town. The first individuals interested in purchasing land headed out to the area 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 land. This dramatic sale boosted his optimism in the town and encouraged Dr. Chandler to build a beautiful hotel. The San Marcos Hotel opened one year later to host wealthy individuals, who were making their visit to Arizona . Fred Astaire, Errol Flynn and Joan Crawford were just some of the famous guests that came to the San Marcos Hotel.
In 1982, the hotel was listed on the National Register of Historical Places due in most part to its wonderful Mission Revival architecture. The hotel offers golf courses, a swimming pool and desert outings. Today, visitors can still stay at the Sheraton San Marcos Conference Center and enjoy one of Chandler's great landmarks.
Even after the successful opening of the lots and the San Marcos Hotel, Chandler 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 Chandler to live. 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. The town also annexed some land south of Chandler to prepare for the anticipated increase in
population.
Chandler has continued to grow. Recently the town has acquired the nickname "Silicon Desert". There are numerous high-tech businesses that have made Chandler their new home. Chandler is a town of great expanses of land filled with crops to the industrial high tech business drawn to the futuristic town. It is a town of diversity.
