Early settlers discovered a fertile valley near the Queen Creek Wash at the base of the San Tan Mountains. This valley, now known as Queen Creek, was perfect for ranching and farming. Farmers discovered it was ideal for growing citrus, cotton, pecans, vegetables and other crops. Farm stands selling deliciously fresh product can still be found along the road.
Queen Creek enjoys a rural lifestyle where neighbors are friends and its small town charm is evident in the way you are treated. Today, Queen Creek's population is 4,000. The town sits at an elevation of 1,400. The sunny climate has a summer high temperature of 101 degrees and a winter low temperature of 32 degrees. Queen Creek has the benefits of small town living and the natural beauty surrounds the town at all angles. Plans are to achieve a family-oriented community with room to grow. Queen Creek will continue to provide open space, along with a country charm.
Schnepf Farm, a popular family attraction, is located in Queen Creek. This family owned farm hosts many festivals throughout the year, including the Peach Festival, Strawberry Festival, Pumpkin & Chili Party, and more. Don't miss their haunted train ride through the orchards during October! |
