Queen Creek, Arizona is a town in Maricopa and Pinal
counties, south and east of Phoenix Arizona. The population was 26,361
at the 2010 census.
Since its
incorporation on Sept. 5, 1989, the Town of Queen Creek has fulfilled
residents’ dreams for the community. The Town has adopted several
award-winning plans designed to guide future growth, planning and land
use as well as provide amenities. The Town has grown from rich rural
roots to what is one of the most innovatively planned family friendly
home towns in Arizona.
San Tan Valley, Arizona
derives its name from the nearby San Tan Mountains. The origin of the
name San Tan is disputed, with suggestions ranging from a corruption of
the name Santa Ana to the last name of George Santan, prior postmaster
in nearby Gila County. Previously referred to as San Tan Heights, San
Tan Foothills, Greater San Tan and simply the San Tan Area, the
community lacked any official name and residents used nearby Queen Creek
for their mailing addresses. To coincide with the addition of a new ZIP
code for the community on July 1, 2009, the United States Postal Service
was petitioned to provide the area with a new name. As part of the
initial request, “Bella Vista” name was submitted to the postal service,
drawing the ire of some local residents who opposed the suggested name.
In response, the Greater San Tan Area Coalition organized a non-binding
vote on June 23, offering residents the opportunity to vote on a name
for the community.
