Prescott Valley, Mountain town in Yavapai County, Arizona.
Located at an elevation of 1,532 meters, Prescott Valley extends across high desert terrain surrounded by mountain ranges and volcanic formations.
The area transformed from a ranching settlement known as Lonesome Valley in the 1880s to an incorporated town in 1978.
The Fitzmaurice Ruins within the town boundaries contain artifacts from the Mountain Patayan people dating back 1,400 years.
The town maintains multiple community facilities, including parks, schools, medical centers, and shopping areas connected by recently expanded roadways.
Gold mining operations along Lynx Creek, initiated by the Walker Party in 1863, produced substantial quantities of gold through hydraulic mining methods.
