SURPRISE

An Ever-Growing Wonder of a Community

Considering its recent ranking as one of the fastest-growing cities in the U.S.. according to WalletHub, it’s amusing to discover the origin of Surprise, Arizona’s name. Legend has it that the city’s founder, Flora Mae Statler, declared that she’d be surprised if the area ever amounted to much. Others believe that her husband, who hailed from Surprise, Nebraska, is the one responsible for the unusual moniker and the town's founding in 1938.

Its rapid growth -- it has a population of roughly 130,000 (2016) -- is hardly the only reason the town has proven its founders wrong. Boasting a prime location less than 45 minutes from the heart of downtown Phoenix, this thriving city is a hub of activity all its own, offering residents opportunities to experience recreational, entrepreneurial, artistic and natural delights of all varieties.

Since its incorporation in 1960, Surprise has developed into a place known internationally as a destination for sports lovers to attend exciting baseball, golfing and tennis events, while also being considered locally as a city that has managed to retain an appealing small-town feel. Whether checking out the spring training home of Major League Baseball teams or attending the annual holiday-themed “Surprise Party” festival at the Recreation Campus, folks can’t help but be enchanted.

Along with its native hustle and bustle, as well as convenient proximity to Phoenix, there’s also the lovely surroundings to consider. Nestled in the desert, Surprise is bordered by the popular White Tank Mountain Regional Park and lies near sprawling national forests with countless hiking, biking and exploration possibilities.

What may be truly astounding is that you haven’t yet visited this charming Sonoran Desert destination. And if you have had the pleasure, then this account of its praises hardly comes as a surprise.
