Prescott began as a mining town with the discovery of gold on nearby Lynx Creek in 1863. During the nineteenth century, Prescott experienced far fewer anti-Mexican and anti-Chinese sentiments than other communities. In fact, when the mining district enacted its laws in 1863 the officers specifically mentioned that "Senorians" and "Asiatics", meaning Mexicans and Chinese, were free to mine and work in the region. In 1863 Arizona became a territory and Prescott was the Territorial Capital between then and 1867, and again from 1877 until 1889. The Sharlot Hall Museum houses much of Prescott's territorial history, and the Smoki and Phippen museums also maintain local collections. Whiskey Row in downtown Prescott boasts many historic buildings, including The Palace, Arizona's oldest restaurant and bar, and many other buildings that have been converted to boutiques, art galleries, bookstores and restaurants. The City is named after author William H. Prescott, whose writings were popular during the Civil War.
After major fires in the early part of the century, downtown Prescott was rebuilt with brick. The central courthouse plaza, a lawn under huge old elm trees, is a good gathering and meeting place. Cultural events and performances take place on many nights in the summer on the plaza
Why retire in Prescott?
What makes Prescott Arizona a drawing card for thousands of retirees? Named one of the best places to retire by Money Magazine Prescott is winning people over time and time again naturally - with its weather.
"See, at 5000 feet elevation, here in the Prescott area we avoid the sweltering heat of the desert valleys or the ice pack conditions of neighboring Flagstaff at 7000 feet." Says Scott Baxter, Arizona real estate agent with Realty 2000. Life in Prescott is temperate on all fronts, a phenomenon Baxter calls the Goldilocks lifestyle: not too hot, not too cold, but just right.
Understandably, anyone who's spent their entire working lives in the wintery north will find Prescott's warm dry climate a hands down winner. Low cost of living, low crime rate, small town sensibility and convenience are also selling points for those who choose to kick back here.
"I had a client of mine mention how Prescott has grown just enough to have a few of the major shopping venues like Costco, Target, Wal-Mart, Home Depot, Dillard's Department Store, and the new Lowes and Kohl's Department Store soon to be completed, without become too urban and busy," he says, "I told him the shopping was much like the climate - just right."
But being just right for so many tastes doesn't keep Prescott itself from being exceptional. With 637 buildings listed in the National Register of Historic places, Prescott Arizona has some great stories to tell. The area known as Whiskey Row was a notorious red light district right up until 1956. And Prescott still likes to throw a good party: Frontier Days, the Bluegrass Festival, Earth Day, Tsunami on the Square, Cinco de Mayo, Shakespeare Festival, Prescott Film Fest, the Acker Music Festival, The Cowboy Poets Gathering, and the Prescott Highland Games are just some of the annual celebrations.
