Chandler History

Located in Maricopa County, Chandler is bordered by the Northwest by Tempe, the north by Mesa, the west by Phoenix, the east by Gilbert, and the South by the Giulia River Indian community. Dating back to 1891 when Dr. Alexander John Chandler, the first veterinarian surgeon in Arizona Territory, settled on a ranch just south of Mesa. He acquired 18,000 acres of land and began drawing up plans for a town, which was then known as Chandler Ranch. The original town was bordered by Galveston Street on the north, Frye Road on the south, Hartford Street on the west, and Hamilton Street on the east. By 1913, a town center was established featuring hotels and the first grass golf course in the state. The Chandler high school was established in 1914 and Chandler was officially incorporated in 1920. The town founder was chosen as the president of the first town Council and the first town's mayor.

Even during the Great Depression, most of Chandler's economy was successfully sustained and in 1941 with the founding of the Williams Air Force Base, there was a small surgeon population.

In the early 1990s, the City of Chandler experience exponential growth ranking among the fastest-growing municipalities in the country.

"The teachers at BBS are amazing and the principal is very kind, supportive and involved. I started one of my kids at BBS last year and loved it so much I enrolled my other two school aged kids. The music, arts, PE and Spanish teachers are incredible. I really appreciate the low student teacher ratios as well. Its an amazing little school! I’m thankful to have found such a great school for my kids." -Niche.com
