Learn About Chandler

Discover how Dr. Alexander J. Chandler arrived in the Valley in 1887 with a vision to create the state-of-the-art city that we know today as Chandler. Mesmerized by the heightened beauty of the surrounding desert, he saw land with boundless potential. Inspired, Dr. Chandler used the Native Americans’ existing canal system as a template and proceeded to create a cutting-edge irrigation system that turned the desert into farmable land.
