Learning history with Phoenix canvas prints

Going back to the aforementioned history, it is interesting to know that the Hohokam tribe are the first known settlers of the Phoenix area but suddenly vanished suddenly in 1450 A.D. To this day, historians are not sure what caused the abrupt disappearance of the tribe, but they assume that it was the result of an extended drought. The United States gained control of the Phoenix area from the Mexicans in 1848 at the end of the Mexican-American War. Phoenix's original population was only 250 people but the city and its people grew from there progressively and at times, exponentially. The fruits of that labor can now be seen in Phoenix canvas prints. Another important moment in Phoenix history was the construction of the Central Arizona Project aqueduct system which began in 1973 and brought a secure and stable water supply to the city. The aqueduct system is 540 kilometers long and used some of the same canals that were originally built by the Hohokam thousands of years before! Phoenix canvas prints can be thought of as some sort of a tribute to this amazing development.
