Return to Index Location Peoria location: near Phoenix, Arizona Return to Index History & History Related Items Peoria history: The City of Peoria was established in the 1880's when William J. Murphy's vision of fertile farm lands fed by water from the Salt River became reality with the completion of the Arizona Canal in 1885. Once this canal was completed, Murphy went East to interest people in settling in this new community. Mr. Murphy was successful in catching people's attention - over 5,000 acres of land in the new district was purchased by citizens from Peoria, Illinois. Four families from Peoria, Illinois were among the first to move to Arizona to occupy and work their land. Residences in the new community sprang up, and a school and Post Office were established by 1889. More people followed the original families and Peoria continued to grow as a farming community. The farmlands were fertile and the people made a good living, despite having to battle swarms of red ants and the occasional rattlesnake in the kitchen. Peoria was incorporated in 1954, with boundaries covering one square mile of land. The warm climate and small-town atmosphere of Peoria continued to attract people, and still do today. Currently, Peoria covers 117 square miles, and is home to over 85,000 residents. The eighth fastest growing city in the nation, Peoria's population is projected to top 125,000 by the year 2005. Potential annexations could extend Peoria's boundaries to 139 square miles in the coming year. From a simple visionary farming community, Peoria, Arizona - a dynamic desert city, has grown.
