<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>In this new volume featuring over 230 photographs, Buckeyes colorful history is told by a lifelong resident of the Buckeye Valley. Meck has woven a tapestry of words and images that tells the rich story of this desert town as it strives to retain its past amid the changes emerging around it.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>The town of Buckeye located in the Valley of the Sun, just 35 miles west of Phoenix was founded in 1888 following the completion of a 10mile irrigation canal in 1886. Throughout the 20th century, this farming community grew as residents established businesses, built churches, raised families, and worked together to carve a home out of the desert. The coming of the Arizona Eastern Railroad in 1910 was so significant that the town s business district was moved to accommodate the location of the railroad station. And as a result, Buckeye boomed. By 2005, with a population over 35,000, the town again faced significant change as the old cotton fields were replaced by housing developments. Though ever changing, the future remains bright for Buckeye, and its heritage remains a valuable treasure for residents, both old and new."
