The many names in Phoenix posters

Americans have a penchant for giving their bigger cities nicknames, just like they do with the 50 states. The Greater Phoenix area as such is referred to as the Valley of the Sun, but mostly in tourism marketing materials. No one will deny that it is indeed descriptive, as the Sonoran Desert, where Phoenix is located, is a very sunny place with little rainfall during the year, and the cities and towns of the Phoenix area actually are in a valley, the Salt River Valley. As you can see, not only are these motifs in Phoenix posters wonderful to look at, but they actually make you learn something. It will no doubt come in handy when someone asks questions as to why you have selected Phoenix posters as your focal point in the room. These beautiful items will leave a lasting impression, and you have something valuable to add in the conversation with these neat little trivia bits.

History lesson

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 posters. 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 posters are sort of a tribute to this amazing development.
