Buckeye, Arizona

Thomas Newt Clanton came to Buckeye in 1877 with a group of six men, three women and ten children from Creston Iowa to foster good health.  It was a good move for him as he lived in Arizona for 49 years before his death at the age of 82.

The Buckeye Canal was the first development in the Buckeye Valley.  In 1884, Malin M. Jackson named the canal in honor of his native state of Ohio, the Buckeye State.  Clanton build ten miles of the canal, which was completed in 1886.  The first post office in the area was established in 1888.  Clanton and Jackson legally change the town name to Buckeye in 1910.  Advances in transportation put Buckeye on the map.  In that same year, the Arizona Easter Railroad came to Buckeye; the first car in 1911; a steam rail line connected it to Phoenix by 1912; and a state highway by 1915.  The coming f the railroad was so significant that the business district was moved to accommodate the location of the railroad station.  As a result, Buckeye was booming.  By 1912, major buildings were constructed, along with expansion of the business community.
