Thirty miles west of Phoenix sits one of the classic Arizona towns that sprung up in the late 1800’s, was put on the map when the railroad came through, and stayed very small through the 20th Century. Buckeye, Arizona was founded by settlers in 1888 and incorporated in 1929 when it was a 440 acre town. The Buckeye of today spreads out over nearly 400 square miles, with municipal planning building the city out to 660 miles over the next three decades.
