Prescott Valley History

Glassford Hill, which overlooks the whole of Prescott Valley, has seen many civilizations inhabit this region long before our current Arizona residents. Evidence shows that early man as far back as 800 A.D. lived in these hills. Native Americans who lived here around the 1400 and 1500’s were replaced with Spanish explorers and miners. These miners along with many others discovered gold near the Bradshaw Mountains in 1864 and this event brought much attention to the area. In that same year the government set up Fort Whipple, the Army Colonial that discovered Chino Valley, just 5 miles away from Glassford Hill. The unique topography of the Hill was used by the cavalry as a heliograph site; using signal mirrors to communicate with other army units while battle the Apache tribes. The 1900’s brought in one of Prescott Valley’s famous families, the Fain Family. In 1963, a new generation of Fains decided to enter a land developing agreement and three years later the town was officially founded. 12 years later in 1978, Prescott Valley was incorporated and boasted a population of over 1,500 residents.
