Chandler is a progressive city with hometown traditions, golf courses and resorts. The city is located in Maricopa County as a suburb of Phoenix. Chandler is warm and sunny with over 300 sunny days on average annually, and an average temperature of 85 degrees.
The sunny town’s history starts back when the state’s first veterinarian surgeon, Alexander John Chandler, settled on a ranch nearby. He owned about 18,000 acres of land by 1900. Chandler drew up plans for a town site on his ranch, and by 1912, there was a town site office and high school established. Hotel San Marcos, the first golf resort in Arizona, came in 1913, and the Williams Air Force Base in 1941. This all brought a small boost in the population. Then, from 1950 to 1980, the population grew from 3,800 to over 30,000. The city has continually flourished ever since.
