- Paradise Valley was once expected to become the agricultural rival of its neighbor the Salt River Valley. Paradise's long quest to irrigate using water from the Verde River shaped its early history and ended in an angry event where effigies were hanged and burned. Find the stories and learn about the people behind the intriguing early years of Paradise Valley, Arizona in this video by Ed Dobbins and John Augustine.
I am from one the first Hispanic families in Hayden's ferry ( Tempe) this is chock full awesome, thank you BRUH ❤️🔥
When did LVL come into play ?
Born and raised here. I'm 70. Road my horses across Greenway and Bell Roads when they were dirt. Parents had a 5-acre place on 27th St just north of Greenway. It was nice then. It's not so nice now. I remember the Post Office of Cactus.
That area is a nightmare now. Far East Valley is the only place around the Valley I can tolerate anymore
Fantastic video! I've lived in PV since 2010 and I love it here. It's home, and I look forward to dying here someday.
I grew up in house on cave creek and cactus . 2424 e dahlia drive in the 90s. I was glued to this video. so cool to learn all of this.
Wow, thanks for the history lesson of paradise valley. A harsh place in the early days.
Hey I recognize that voice 😄😄 Long time no see! My stepdad Kevin said this video popped up on his suggested videos on TH-cam and so he sent it to me! Hope you and the family are doing well! Looking forward to learning a thing or two about local history from you on here!

Great video.
I was thinking a history of Shaw butte and info. about Cloud 9 would make a great video.
Awsome so excited to learn some history of the valley.
Great info, Ed. Thank you. I grew up on 34th St., north of Cactus, and didn't know any of this info.
Nice video! I didn't know about the pre 20th century settlement attempts. Thanks for the work putting it together.
The first photo shows the McDowell Mountains, looking east. The last peak on the left is the one that has the huge radio tower today.
Very interesting, I’ve studied much of the history of the SRVWUA and didn’t know this about PV.
Wonderful video! I love learning about stuff like this!
Thank you
Thanks for this. Very interesting.
2nd comment - thanks so much for the effort you put into this video. I live in this area and have always wondered about what came before all of these suburbs!
I live in PV. They just built a 5 million dollar home two doors north of me. Twice the average price of my neighborhood.
January 1 1962 Moved all the way out into the county from Phoenix. 40th st .Desert Cove. Greenway grade School. Shea was a two lane road that ended in a jeep trail just East of Scottsdale rd. Moved to horse property in Sunburst Farms 54th st Sweetwater 1969. I miss it. It is gone forever. It did not fall into decline and decay like so much of Phoenix did but the character is long gone I am in my 70s and I was in 5th grade when we moved into that brand new house on New Years 1962. I feel fortunate.
My grandparents lived in Paradise Valley. They lived on corner 30th st, and eberly lane
2:21 I didn’t see or hear “effigies “ and was like “Damn talk about the wild wild west 😂
Gila City then, not Phoenix
and now the whole valley destroyed by greed- so sad
Its funny that it was called paradise valley when it was deselate waistland
I grew up in that desolate wasteland and I can attest that it was teeming with life.
@@buddypvaz124 lol. I was raised in south Phoenix. There's over 2000 species of plants life native to the Sonoran desert. However a sun baked plain of creosote bushes and cactus is hardly paradise. On my grandfather's south Phoenix property there was oranges grapefruit lemons grapes almonds pecans palmogranets figs olives and pine trees. The grass was green and thick. It's amazing what will grow in that desert if you give it water. It's a paradise now. A hot one tho. So don't came at me with that I'm from here attitude!
@@buddypvaz124 it's actually not a paradise at all! It's a RAT RACE! A crowded rat race where everyone wants to run everyone else over. A hell hole where everyone wants to be first! And they call it PARADISE VALLEY LOL. Yeah okay
You sound like Ed O'Neil the dad from married with children
Govenor benjamin moeur died of heart complications not hanging lol
It was an effigy of them hanging. Not them actually being hanged.
