Relocation Guide - Phoenix Arizona Real Estate

Our relocation guide takes you to the Phoenix and the Valley of the Sun where it

began with the discovery of the Salt River by the Hohokam Indians as early as 300 B.C. The waterways and canals built by the Hohokam society allowed the introduction of cotton, beans, corn, squash and introduced the weaving of cotton to the Southwest. These newcomers wasted no time in building a community to suit their needs, with single family homes, apartment buildings, an outdoor neighborhood recreation center, and a ceremonial spot for the celebration of special events.

It's amazing to think that Phoenix Arizona real estate was made from an ancient culture that was farmed and existed in the settlement for about 1,700 years, and reached a population of approximately 75,000 by A.D. 1100. After living in this part of the Sonoran Desert for more than ten centuries the Hohokam mysteriously disappeared, leaving a legacy that has helped modern civilization thrive.

The irrigation system that transports water through the metropolis of Phoenix closely follows the sophisticated system of canals established by the Hohokam. The Pima, said to be descendents of the Hohokam later settled here.

You can trace the growth of Phoenix Arizona real estate at the Pueblo Grande Museum and Archaeology Park that is located about 5 miles east of downtown Phoenix at 4619 E. Washington Street. Much has been learned about this ancient society by studying animal and plant remains, burial sights and artifacts discovered at this site. Archaeologists have discovered a platform mound with what appears to be solstice markings that may suggest that the Hohokum had a ceremonial culture.

It seems especially fitting then that Phoenix, Arizona's capital city, should be named for the bird in Greek mythology that rose from its own ashes to live again.
