    History
    In the 1880's, the Rio Verde Canal Company came up with an idea to turn the desert land west of Scottsdale into a farming section. The company named this area Paradise Valley, because of the abundance of wildflowers found growing throughout. Although, their idea never came to pass the name Paradise Valley stuck.

    After a while, the city of Phoenix began to grow and prosper. Some people decided that Paradise Valley would be perfect for new homes. new homes began to be built, along with some high-end resorts. In 1961, Paradise Valley was incorporated.

    The town chose to be incorporated to prevent annexation. At the time, it was believed annexation would create too much development and growth. Paradise Valley likes its community the way it is with large new homes, resorts and very few businesses. The town's zoning restrictions support this way of life.

    The Town of Paradise Valley was incorporated in 1961 and encompasses
    the area north of Camelback Mountain up to Shea Blvd and
    from Scottsdale Road to 32nd St. The town has the highest median
    income and the largest percentage of college graduates in the
    area. Zoning has restricted commercial development to posh resort
    hotels and single-family homes to a minimum of one-acre lots.
    The Greater Paradise Valley region stretches from the Phoenix
    Mountains to Jomax Road, and from Pima Road in Scottsdale to
    Central Avenue in Phoenix. Paradise Valley has experienced rapid
    growth in recent years. Today it is a generally upscale residential
    community known for its excellent school system.

    Most Paradise Valley residents commute to jobs in the greater
    Phoenix metropolitan area. Employment is found in the electronic
    plants along the Black Canyon Freeway as well as in businesses
    found at the Scottsdale Air Park. Other residents travel to jobs in
    the central Phoenix area. A major transportation project for the
    Squaw Peak Parkway is completed, expanding that roadway to
    Shea Blvd. A further extension north to the Outer Loop will be completed
    by 2003.

    Retail, service and professional sectors supply most of the employment
    in the Paradise Valley area. Paradise Valley Mall, one of the
    larger regional shopping centers in the Phoenix area, is the core of
    the community and provides much of the local employment.
    Sumitomo Sitix, a silicon wafer producer, is the first major manufacturing
    plant in a new 1000-acre commercial/industrial area adjacent
    to the new Pima Freeway Outer Loop. The plant started operations
    in May 1997.

    The Phoenix Mountain Preserve is a large area of natural desert
    landscape that includes Squaw Peak, North Mountain and
    Camelback Mountain. Bike trails and hiking combine with picnicking
    as the most popular activities. Boating, fishing and other
    water sports can be enjoyed just north of Paradise Valley at Lake
    Pleasant, Horseshoe Lake or Bartlett Lake.

    The Phoenix area has many attractions: professional football and
    basketball, as well as baseball, tennis, and golf. In addition, cultural
    events include a symphony, an opera, theater companies, historical,
    Indian, art and specialty museums and several state-of-the-art entertainment facilities.
