Buckeye

Buckeye owes its prosperity to the farsighted pioneers who built the canal after which the town was named. Buckeye's agricultural past is still visible in the rambling acres of cotton and alfalfa; her future evident in housing developments and shopping centers springing up amid those fields. Just 35 miles west of Phoenix, the gentle desert landscape provides a welcome relief from the bustle and congestion of the big city, and the "small country town" personality remains in the friendly residents.
