History
In 1960, Robert P. McCulloch purchased 4,500 acres of land northeast of Scottsdale. The land was once a cattle ranch and was a part of the largest land and cattle holdings in Arizona . McCulloch decided to change the cattle land into a community. Charles Wood Jr. joined McCulloch in making the community a reality. Wood was the designer of Disneyland and had worked with McCulloch in building Lake Havasu City along the Colorado River in Arizona .
It was McCulloch who wanted to have a memorable landmark for the community. It was this landmark from which the town got its name.

By 1971, McCulloch had acquired 12,000 acres and many people came to the community to buy land. Fountain Hills was incorporated in 1989. During the early 1990's, Fountain Hills was rated on of the fifty best places to raise a family. One of the best characteristics of the town is the spectacular views and fresh air coupled with the proximity of the city life in Phoenix. The town continues to grow, although Indian Reservations, a park and a mountain range place a restriction on how far the town can stretch.
