I listen to stories from my aunt born here in 1926. Her parents came here in 1911. They came to Northern Arizona in "83 . That's 1883. I try to listen as much as I can while we have her.
My great great grandfather was Edward Irvine. A founding father of Phoenix. He had a freighting service and store or mercantile store. It was at the corner of 1st and Washington. It was the first brick building in Arizona. It is located in the upper right of the map. His son, Joseph Alexander Rideout Irvine, came to be on the state legislature and help vote AZ in as a state in 1912. He had a home on Portland Street, along with other important people of the day, not far from downtown.
very cool! do you still live here? My wifes family, on her mothers side have been here since the 1860's they settled in mesa at that time. I do not know a lot about them but know they were Mormon and at least one of the original ancestors was a brick mason. I wonder if since they were Mormon and Mormons are notorious for keeping genealogy records if we could find much more about them. I find it very interesting! My family has only been in Arizona since the 1960's but have been in the USA since the very early colonial times, my original ancestor who came here on my mothers side was an indentured servant ,white , not to be confused with a slave, he was a convict and received his freedom after a certain number of years in servitude and I believe he actually had the choice to do it as opposed to some other punishment.
Phoenix had a bunch of irrigation canals that the early Papago Indians had dug...they were re-used and are still in place today in the modern city with a metro population approaching 5 million people...
All the canals were privately owned during this time. The federal government acquired them all in the early 1900s (1906, I think) and to this day, they're controlled mostly by SRP (Salt River Project).
It's crazy to see this map. I grew up a few miles south of this area. You get a similar (albeit lower) view of the current city from the i17 freeway. Even after all this time the east/west roads are still the same. North/south roads have been changed to numbered streets and avenues but all the street names have been given to smaller roads in the same area.
Exactly. It appears that Centre St is what is today's Central Ave. And like the said, the number system took off after that. Probably over the next 20 years as cars started growing in popularity.
The states with the lowest amount of precipitation changes, though, from season to season. In winter, North and South Dakota are the driest in the country, but for spring, Arizona and New Mexico see the least rain. In summer, California and Nevada take the lead, then for fall, Nevada and Wyoming top the list. Some states which rank among the country's 10 wettest for some seasons are among the ten driest states at other times of the year. Washington goes from being the sixth driest state in summer to the fifth wettest state in winter.
State-wide averages of precipitation give just a general indication of climate because they hide variations in rainfall and snowfall within a state. Especially for states with topography that ranges from ocean beaches to lofty peaks, total precipitation can vary enormously from place to place. In Washington State, for example, precipitation ranges from 102 inches (2,591 mm) a year in Quillayute on the rainy west coast to less than 8 inches (203 mm) a year at places such as Quincy and Ephrata in the central region of the state.
This map shows how Phoenix was a Mormon settlement. Streets all run north and south, east and west. the canal for irrigation all the blocks were the same size. Las Vegas and Sacramento are also Mormon settlements.
Phoenix was not a Mormon settlement. The coordinate system commonly known as the Public Lands Survey (range and township) is what our roads are based on.
iN 1870, William Hancock surveyed the area and established 98 blocks with two main street. The sale of land began in December 1871 with prices at $20.00 to 143.00 per lot. By 1876, the population was at 500 and by 1885 it had over 1,700. The area of settle by the first generation of the X-Generation or Guilded generation and later the Progressive generation. Phoenix received railroad connection in 1887 and became the territorial capital in 1889. According to Dr. Turner, the west had officially closed in 1890. The problem with dealing with Native Americans, Blacks, Mexicans, Asians and poor whites turned the Frontier thesis into a farce.
All of the ten driest states in America average no more than 20 inches (508 millimetres) of rain and snow annually, based on state-wide averages of precipitation. Nevada takes the lead as the least rainy state in the US, with only 9.5 inches (241 mm) of rain each year. The mountain states, including Wyoming and Montana, dominate the list of America's driest states year round. The driest time of year for most of the arid states is winter, when many in the top ten average less than an inch of precipitation a month. Even drier is California during summer when the state's monthly rainfall totals just a quarter inch (6 mm).
I like that they show the "falls of Arizona canal" you can still see this now, it was turned into a park . I believe off of Indian school road in the Arcadia area. it was created to regulate the canal flow since the elevation needed to drop , rather than have a super fast moving canal they created a waterfall and a little holding area. I could be a bit off in my explanation but more or less that is what it's about.In 1885 it was just a basic water fall to drop elevation but I think in 1900 or so they built a whole deal there to regulate the flow and drop it much further in that spot.Very beat place to go check out. most of the canals we have were actually dug along ancient ditches that were built by the native people hundreds or maybe thousands of years ago to irrigate the same valley.their ditches were much smaller than modern day canals but they had figured out all the grading and had this perfect system long before European people made their way to the west.
@@kbpl369 phoenix barely extended 10 miles in the 1960s. the other 60+ miles was all farmland. if this person is in their 50s or 60s they are definitely correct to say that this map looks similar to the phoenix they grew up in.
a few names were proposed including pumpkinville but Darrell Duppa (educated englishman) proposed "Phoenix" as the town was built on the ruins of a Hohokam settlement. Duppa also named Tempe and Peoria.
I know an older woman who lives in one of the original homes and it was a plantation. I walked down into the basement where slaves were kept it was kind of spooky
+I Have Vigors No kidding ...... typically when you think of plantations you think of the southeastern US. Do you know which house it is on this map and or what street it was on because I'll do another video specifically on the history of that house. Thanks for the comment!
Wow..I've been trying to learn what is the oldest building in phx..do you mind saying what area it is..I was born in phx.and lived here all my life...and am saddened by all of the destruction of trees and buildings..although I do like new ones as well...that is part of why I have this interest..my email is treesarae@gmail.com
I Have Vigors sorry..wanted to add..I'm interested to learn simply because its a very old home..not because of the poor slaves...the.for sharing about it..I never thought of phx as having a plantation style housr
Arizona NEVER had slavery and didn't become a state until 1912 which was decades after slavery was abolished.Early homes in Phoenix didn't have basements either
There is an American flag because a territory was still part of the USA under federal jurisdiction with a federally appointed territorial governor. As a territory grew in population and development its governor would liaise with the federal gov't about granting statehood.

I don’t think there was even a town or village in what is now Phoenix under Spanish or Mexican rule it. People didn’t live in that area until it was under US rule
@@chinglee100 There were indian settlements near maricopa. The valley was, of course, inhabited hundreds of years earlier. It was the remains of canals, visible to travellers like Swilling and others that gave settlers the idea to invest and built the "swilling ditch" shown in this map. The initial fields it serviced were in east Phoenix but a few years later the town center (shown in map) was moved to the west.

Not in Phoenix, no. The reservations are nearby though. One borders Scottsdale which from this maps vantage, would be north-east of this section. It's called Salt River Pima-Maricopa Community, home to both Pima and Maricopa Indians. The other is Gila River Indian Community to the south of this map's depiction. A Phoenix area called Ahwatukee and Chandler are its primary border cities.
The areas adjacent to the salt/gila rivers were populated by the hohokam. Phoenix repurposed/upgraded their irrigation system but this requires flattening the ancient mounds in their fields. Some of these mounds were not disturbed (too much?) and there are a few places to visit.
Mr. TRump can send the funds in dollars from the US of houses of Convicts to buy the house in Phoenix in Arizona, San Jose California and leave this Calvary Sacramento etc

thats why it's called phoenix and not pumpkinville

Those canals were dug by the Papago These same canals are still used today. Thanks

Swilling ditch (Salt river valley canal). This was the irrigation that started the settlement a few miles to the east of the area shown.
Way cool! I would assume that is just a canal, branching off of the Salt River.

I don't know how my grandmother survived out here in Arizona with no air conditioning
This is rad. Thanks for the upload

Water at # 15 is a canal. The Papago indians were the original builders of expensive canals.

they hit rock, easier to have a water fall than to excavate rock.
so do you research american history or just look at maps and guess?
This looks like the Phoenix I grew up in, bye, bye, little town, you've spread your wings & grown
Wow! You're 140 years old or so? Good work, young man or woman!

called Pumpkinville then.

Richard Sells AZ A lot had dank cellars .
Talk about the lack of subways and highways
Irrigation
Funny, my family owns a house by there. 24th and elm. By the Biltmore. Love this vid. 👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿
That's the salt river or a diverted canal off it.
Map is from wikipedia
Some of that looks like military housing and parade grounds. Without air-conditioning, Phoenix would be a hellish place.
And to think my family and I moved there exactly 100 years after the map was made.
Why is there an American flag when we didn't become a state until 1912?
chaz Probably was just a Territory
There is an American flag because a territory was still part of the USA under federal jurisdiction with a federally appointed territorial governor. As a territory grew in population and development its governor would liaise with the federal gov't about granting statehood.
