Greetings!
As Mayor of the Town of Chino Valley, it is my pleasure to extend a warm greeting and welcome to all newcomers, both to Chino Valley and our amazing Central Arizona Highlands region.
Our town offers a unique blend of rich history, culture and sense of community; all set against the backdrop of beautiful landscapes, open spaces and dark skies. Whether you’re here for new opportunities, to raise a family, to enjoy a fresh start or retirement bliss, you’ll find that our town is filled with friendly faces and supportive neighbors.
We pride ourselves on fostering a welcoming environment where everyone can thrive. Our rural community has four beautiful distinct seasons and has a truly hometown feeling.
Chino Valley is a town that is growing, with the goal to maintain our rural heritage and culture, and an aim to grow and sustain our small businesses, attract additional retail and restaurants, and improve our infrastructure. Our town is incredibly supportive of our new residents, as well as economic development initiatives and promoting a business-friendly environment.
Interesting historical facts about Chino Valley are that it was founded in 1864, later incorporated in 1970, and is the first Territorial Capital of Arizona. This is a remarkable story as to how that occurred, as the founders were looking for a mountain that looked like a thumb in Prescott (Thumb Butte) and stumbled upon one in Chino Valley instead.
I encourage you to explore the local attractions that reflect our agriculture roots, participate in community events that celebrate our heritage, and make the most of the stunning parks and recreational areas that surround us.
From hiking trails, equestrian events, youth sports to farmers markets, Chino Valley offers a lifestyle rich in connection to nature and community. Accessibility and major amenities are a short drive from Chino Valley making it easy for you to settle in and enjoy everything our quiet community has to offer.
Welcome to our beautiful Central Arizona Highlands and special thanks for your time here from the Town of Chino Valley and its Mayor.
