The four families from Peoria, Illinois, who stopped their wagons in the middle of the Arizona Territory in 1886 and decided to set down roots here were early practitioners of the trend of Midwestern migration that still continues today.

A rapidly growing population and recent annexations have made Peoria one of the faster growing cities in the United States. Peoria spans over 162 square miles and has more than 130,000 residents.

One of the best school districts in the state, affordable housing and close proximity to downtown Phoenix are largely responsible for the influx of new residents.

Medical services and health care facilities in the Peoria area are among the most comprehensive in the Valley. The Arrowhead Towne Center and adjacent North Valley Power Center offer a wonderful assortment of department stores, numerous specialty shops and restaurants.

The Seattle Mariners and San Diego Padres train each spring at the Peoria Sports Complex, a quarter mile away from the Arrowhead Towne Center. Four new hotels and several new restaurants adjoin the Sports Complex. In addition, Peoria hosts two teams in the Arizona Fall League.

Peoria is the home of Lake Pleasant, a 24,000 acre water wonderland surrounded by desert flora and fauna. There are plenty of hiking trails, camping grounds and boat ramps for all to enjoy. This is by far the most popular lake in the Phoenix Metropolitan Area.
