Prescott Valley, Mountain town in Yavapai County, Arizona.
Prescott Valley is a town in Arizona's high country situated at about 1,500 meters in elevation, spreading across high desert terrain bordered by mountain ridges and volcanic formations. The town contains residential areas, shopping districts, and public facilities that connect through an expanded network of roadways.
The area began as a ranching settlement called Lonesome Valley in the 1880s and became an incorporated town in 1978. This transformation reflects its shift from rural settlement to modern residential community.
The Fitzmaurice Ruins within the town boundaries contain artifacts from the Mountain Patayan people dating back 1,400 years.
Having a car helps when visiting since distances between different parts of town are spread out. Visitors should allow time to explore the parks and public facilities scattered throughout the area.
Major gold deposits were discovered and mined in the area during the 1800s, particularly along Lynx Creek. These mining operations shaped early economic development and drew settlers to the valley.
