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. On August 22,
1978, the voters of Prescott Valley voted overwhelmingly for
incorporation as a town.
