Chandler-Arizona

After the Great Depression of 1931, the founding of Williams Air Force Base in 1941 led to a small surge in population. By 1980, it had grown to 30,000, and it has since run parallel to the Phoenix metropolitan area's high rate of growth, with vast suburban residential areas transforming former agricultural plots.

Many new establishments of manufacturing plants for communications and computing firms such as Motorola and Intel have settled.

From a quiet farm town to one of the largest urban cities in the West, Chandler-Arizona is now one of America’s fastest growing cities. It offers a substantial quantity of fine hotels, world-class resorts, golf courses, and malls. The Chandler Fashion Center provides shopping pleasure and fun.

Experience the famous Chandler Ostrich Festival every March, fun-filled with parades, carnival rides, music, food, zoo and other forms of entertainment. Chandler is noted for its annual Ostrich Festival.

At first, agriculture was the primary business in Chandler, like on cotton, corn, and alfalfa. In the 1910s, ostrich farms were evident in the area, catering to the demand for plumes used in women's hats at that time. And this demand flowed with the automobile’s popularity, but the legacy of the ostrich farms is still commemorated by the Ostrich Festival.

Chandler is just 20 minutes from the Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport.
