Chandler is a city in Maricopa County, Arizona, United States, and a suburb in the Phoenix-Mesa-Chandler Metropolitan Statistical Area. It is bordered to the north and west by Tempe, to the north by Mesa, to the west by Phoenix, to the south by the Gila River Indian Community, and to the east by Gilbert. Chandler has a total area of 65.5 square miles (170 km2). Chandler was officially incorporated as a city on February 16, 1920. As of 2024, Chandler is the fourth-biggest city in Arizona and the third largest city in the Phoenix metro area.[5]

In recent decades, the City of Chandler has experienced exponential growth, ranking among the fastest-growing municipalities in the country. The population has grown to more than a quarter of a million people. As of the 2020 census, the population of Chandler was 275,987,[6] up from 236,123 at the 2010 census. Chandler is a commercial and tech hub for notable corporations, such as Intel, Northrop Grumman, Wells Fargo, PayPal and Boeing.

History edit

In 1891, Dr. Alexander John Chandler, a Canadian and the first veterinary surgeon in the Arizona Territory, settled on a ranch south of Mesa and studied irrigation engineering.[7] By 1900, he had acquired 18,000 acres (73 km2) of land and began drawing up plans for a town-site on what was then known as the Chandler Ranch. The town-site office opened on May 16, 1912.

The original town-site was bounded by Galveston Street to the north, Frye Road to the south, Hartford Street to the west, and Hamilton Street to the east.[5] By 1913, a town center was established, featuring the Hotel San Marcos, which also had the first grass golf course in the state. Chandler High School was established in 1914. Chandler was officially incorporated on February 16, 1920, after 186 residents petitioned the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors to approve incorporation. The town founder A.J. Chandler was chosen as the president of the first town council. Although A.J. Chandler was the first mayor of Chandler, he only agreed to be the mayor of the town until a more permanent one could be found.[7]

Most of Chandler's economy was sustained during the Great Depression (though the Depression was to blame for the cancellation of a second San Marcos hotel), but the cotton crash a few years later had a much deeper impact on the city's residents. Later, the founding of Williams Air Force Base in 1941 led to a small surge in population, but Chandler still only held 3,800 people by 1950.

By 1980, the population had grown to 30,000, and it has since paced the Phoenix metropolitan area's high rate of growth, with suburban residential areas and commercial use areas swallowing former agricultural plots. The population has nearly doubled in the last twenty years. Some of this growth was fueled by the establishment of manufacturing plants for communications and computing firms such as Microchip, Motorola and Intel.

Since the early 1990s, the City of Chandler has experienced exponential growth, ranking among the fastest-growing municipalities in the country. The population has grown to more than 275,000 residents in more than 100,000 homes as of 2020. The heart of Chandler remains its revitalized historic downtown, which includes the Chandler City Hall and the Chandler Center for the Arts. In 2010, Chandler was named an All-America City by the National Civic League.

Geography edit

According to the 2020 census, Chandler has a total area of 65.55 square miles (169.8 km2), of which 0.07 square miles (0.18 km2), or 0.11%, are listed as water. The center of the city, along Arizona State Route 87, is 22 miles (35 km) southeast of Downtown Phoenix.

Chandler has reached its physical limits in recent years, with the exemption of some remaining county islands. The city cannot expand outward further due to being bound in by the Gila River Indian Community, Tempe, Mesa, Gilbert, and Phoenix.

Chandler is in proximity to/borders the San-Tan mountain range. The San-Tan mountains are in the jurisdiction of the Gila River Indian Community.

Chandler is divided into three parts: North Chandler, West Chandler and South Chandler, each being divided by the Loop 202 (Santan Freeway) and Loop 101 (Price Freeway).

Economy edit

Computer chip manufacturer Intel has an influential role in city growth strategies with four locations in the municipal area, including its first factory to be designated "environmentally sustainable" under current Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design criteria.[10] Intel has invested over $20 billion into two of their semiconductor production facilities in Chandler: Intel Ocotillo Campus and Intel Chandler Campus.

Intel first came to the city in the 80's with the opening of the Intel Chandler Campus in West Chandler. Since then, the city has transformed from a small agricultural community into a booming tech hub for businesses and corporations. Intel's arrival to Chandler is credited with the economic boom for the city, as well as the major growth of the suburb in recent years.

Currently, Intel is investing $20 billion into building two new chip factories at its Intel Ocotillo Campus. The investment is the largest private-sector investment in Arizona history. Once Fab 52 and 62 are fully complete and operational, it is expected to bring tens of thousands of jobs into the Phoenix suburb.[11] Today, the City of Chandler houses many notable corporations, such as Northrop Grumman, Wells Fargo, PayPal and Boeing. Most companies reside within many of Chandler's employment corridors, especially Price Corridor. Chandler's economy mostly comprises of the manufacturing, tech and healthcare sector, like aerospace engineering, military defense, semiconductors, etc. Other high-tech manufacturing firms have partnerships with Chandler,[12] with their operations employing approximately 25% of non-government workers in 2007.[13] Although per capita employment growth in the sector has been in decline in Arizona since 2000, semiconductor and other electronic component manufacturing was largely unaffected.[14] A series of customized grants for the training of net new employees, incorporating the Phoenix urbanized area (27,000 workers now commute to work in other communities), resulted in a larger market share of Californian industry.

Since 2003, more than 2,900 jobs and investments totaling $2 billion have been created along the Price and Santan freeways,[15] in Price Corridor.[16] Three shopping malls provide a "strong attraction" to such an open-ended, high exposure[17] trade area: the 1,300,000-square-foot (120,000 m2) Chandler Fashion Center, which opened in 2001, has spurred on several courts and freeway developments.[18]

Historical traditions edit

Chandler is especially rich in culture because of its diversity. Chandler is noted for its annual Ostrich Festival.[20] Initially, agriculture was the primary business in Chandler, based on cotton, corn and alfalfa. During the 1910's, there were ostrich farms in the area, catering to the demand for plumes used in women's hats of the era. This demand came with the increasing usage of the automobile (car). The legacy of the ostrich farms would be commemorated by the Ostrich Festival.

The Arizona Railway Museum is in close proximity to Tumbleweed Park. A 70,000-square-foot (6,500 m2) The Holocaust and Tolerance Museum has been slated for construction in Chandler.[22]

Railroads edit

Heavy rail edit

Chandler is served by two single-track branch lines of the Union Pacific Railroad. One generally traverses the Kyrene Road alignment and currently dead-ends at the Lone Butte Industrial Park. The other runs east of Arizona Avenue and dead-ends near Sacaton, Arizona. Commuter rail service on these lines is under study as of 2007.

Light rail edit

No light rail lines have been approved in the city, although high-capacity corridors including light rail have been identified in other regional and local plans. City officials joined the regional light rail authority, Valley Metro Rail, in 2007, expecting service perhaps in 2020. Potential high capacity transit corridors that have been identified in the past include Rural Road, Arizona Avenue, and Chandler Boulevard. The Chandler General Plan 2016 does not authorize light rail or any form of high capacity transit. A separate process for any consideration of light rail as the mode of transit may occur in the years to come. The language in the General Plan 2016 is to identify that options remain available in the future for the city as it continues analyzing transit within the high-capacity transit corridors.
