Incorporated as a city in 1951, Scottsdale was named after U.S. Army Chaplain Winfield Scott who came to the area in the late 1800s and purchased 640 acres of land, with the intent of developing a farming community. Scottsdale remained a small town until after World War II, when it began to grow rapidly due to an influx of retirees and growth of the tourism industry. Today, Scottsdale is known for its upscale shopping, championship golf, dining, nightlife and resort scene, as well as it’s vibrant arts and culture community. Cost of living and median homes prices are higher than the national average, however it is still relatively affordable compared to other large cities in the west such as Los Angeles or San Francisco.
