Prescott . . .Arizona’s Territorial Capital is where it all started in Arizona. This wonder filled mountain town with its wonderful year around weather did not just spring up haphazardly around missions, mines or railroad stops as did most Western towns. It was a planed community designated by President Lincoln in 1864 as the first territorial capital. Mostly settled by Northerners, their influence can be seen in the many stone, wooden Gothic and Victorian structures.   A mile high and only 90 miles from the very modern influences of Phoenix you can still experience how the West was once and still is to a large degree. Touch Arizona History. Take in our lakes and forests, mountains and museums, the art, dramas and most of all our people. Come fall in love with a lovely place that you will love, and will love you back . . . Prescott.
