Celebrate Queen Creek This September

Queen Creek turns 36 on Sept. 5, 2025, but the celebration continues all month long!

You may be surprised to hear that Queen Creek is a relatively young community. Especially when compared to neighboring cities and towns such as Phoenix, AZ (145 years old) or Gilbert, AZ (105 years old).

In the past five years, Queen Creek has seen rapid growth and experienced many firsts. Specifically, launching the Queen Creek Police Department, being the first municipality in the state to have a fully funded pension reserve - saving taxpayers nearly $2 million annually - and the opening of State Route 24 from Ellsworth Rd. to Ironwood Dr.

Named #1 in Best Places to Live in Arizona by U.S. News & World Report, Queen Creek expanded ambulance service, opened the Town's first Recreation & Aquatic Center, Frontier Family Park and expanded Mansel Carter Oasis Park. To learn more about the Town's recent accomplishments, watch the State of the Town video. 

Whether you just moved to town, or have been a resident for many years, there are plenty of ways to learn more about Queen Creek's history.
