During the mid 1880's, Prescott held the Territorial Capital and was the site of the Territorial Legislature. This did not sit well with the residents in the Salt River Valley and the Gila River area. They wanted a more local seat of government and in their eyes Prescott was too far north. They eventually petitioned the Territorial Legislature.

Maricopa County Maricopa County, named after the Maricopa Tribe, was created from portions of Pima and Yavapai counties in1871. It was the fifth county formed in Arizona, and eventually portions were used to create Gila and Pinal counties. In the late 19th century, citizens living far south of Prescott, the territorial capital and site of the Territorial Legislature, petitioned for a more local seat of government. Residents of the Salt River Valley and the Gila River area wanted anew county in their respective locations. After weighing both proposals, the Legislature agreed with the Salt River Valley group and created Maricopa County Maricopa County.
