Golden Keys Community El Coronado Estates 6233 E CATALINA DRIVE 3116 N 47TH STREET 12 OCTOBER 2024 S everal Arizona towns and cities have been named under unusual circumstances. Show Low and Sierra Vista are two prime examples. Back in 1954, the community now known as Sierra Vista was little more than low income housing that surrounded and served Fort Huachuca. Although there wasn’t much there, the residents decided to incorporate, so a group formed, met and set the wheels in motion. They took out petitions, got the necessary signatures and asked the state legislature for approval. One of the required steps was selecting a town name. The area had been previously known as both Fry and Carmichael, but few had wanted either of those so the committee asked the citizenry to submit more appropriate suggestions. The most submitted name would be declared the winner. Included on the list were Buena, Garden City and Nola Walker’s favorite, Sierra Vista. Walker was a 33-year-old housewife at the time and she said the name came to her as she looked at the Huachuca Mountains to the south. Because there were no city offices, the woman who served as community clerk had to use the trunk of her car to store the ballots. Worried that they might get lost, she asked Nola Walker to keep them in her home. A little while later, a man representing the soon-to-be-named-city called Mrs. Walker from Phoenix and said the incorporation had been approved. But, he added, they needed the new name right away. Without hesitation, Mrs. Walker replied, “It’s Sierra Vista.” Assuming that Sierra Vista had been the popular choice, the officials in charge dutifully applied it to the new city. Years later, however, Mrs. Walker revealed what had actually happened: “I put those cards (ballots) into a drawer and forgot all about them,” she told me in 2006, while recalling the incident during the city’s 50th anniversary celebration. “When they told me they needed the name right away, I said it was Sierra Vista. Then I took those cards and threw them in the trash. I never even looked at them.” So even today, nobody knows for sure which name actually won the contest. But the residents have forgiven, even thanked, Nola Walker. She was awarded a Certificate of Forgiveness during the 2006 festivities and she rode on a parade float declaring her “The Woman Who Named Sierra Vista.” In a downtown park in Show Low, two old bronze cowboys play an eternal card game as a perpetual reminder that the community got its name from a gambling incident. It was back in the late 1800s. Marion Clark and Corydon E. Cooley were partners who operated a 100,000-acre ranch. But they had a falling out and decided to dissolve their partnership with a card game called Seven Up. Under the rules of the game, the winner would buy out the loser. According to local lore, the game went on through the night, and on the last hand, Clark allegedly said, “You show low and you win.” Cooley cut the deck and came up with the two of clubs, thus winning the game and the option to buy the land that eventually became Show Low. In recognition of the event, the town’s main street had been named Deuce of Clubs, while two other thoroughfares bear the names of Cooley and Clark. How’d you get that name?
