Phoenix History

Settled as early as 700AD by the Hohokam, Phoenix rose from the ruins of this former civilization. Settlers of the area in the post Civil War era used remnants of the ancient Hohokam firrigation system, making the land arable for citrus and cotton crops. Phoenix is indeed aptly named, as it has grown to the fifth largest city in the United States in the matter of a few short decades. The chief drawing card for the Phoenix area has always been the climate. With an average of only five days a year with lows at or below freezing, the warm climes have drawn transplants from the frigid Northeast corridor and even damp and chilly European countries. Search Phoenix rental houses, apartments for rent, condos and a variety of Phoenix home rentals to suit your living needs.
