Prescott Valley, Arizona
“The Hidden Valley”

In the mid-1960s, Prescott Valley Incorporated, a real-estate company from Phoenix, purchased land from the Fain family in an area 10 miles east of Prescott known as Lonesome Valley. In 1966, representatives from Prescott Valley Inc. began traveling to the Midwest to sell home lots to people who craved sunshine, mild weather, and magnificent scenery. Fast-forward to 1978, when more than 1,500 residents were living in the unincorporated area now known as Prescott Valley.
