Located in Arizona’s Sonoran desert, the city of Scottsdale‘s origins began in 1888 when U.S. Army Chaplain Winfield Scott (hence, the name) made a down payment on 640 acres near the present-day downtown to start a farming operation. Its ranching and homesteading heritage earned the young community the moniker “The West’s Most Western Town.” Now the official city motto, the locale is a popular vacation and conference destination. And why not, with 330 sunny days each year.
