In 1891, Dr. Alexander John Chandler, the first veterinary surgeon in Arizona Territory, settled on a ranch south of Mesa, studying irrigation engineering.
By 1900, he had acquired 18,000 acres of land, and began drawing up plans for a townsite on what was then known as the Chandler Ranch. The townsite office opened on Thursday, May 16, 1912, which was Chandler’s founding day.
Chandler incorporated on February 16, 1920, after 186 residents petitioned the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors to approve incorporation. Town founder A.J. Chandler was chosen as the president of the first town council and the town’s first mayor.
Computer chip manufacturer Intel is a major employer in Chandler. More than 2,900 jobs and investments totalling $3 billion have been created along the Price and Santan freeways, in the Price Road Corridor since 2003.
Locally, there are several outstanding jobs in various products and services like educational services, health care, arts, entertainment, recreation, clothing, fashion, music, food services, manufacturing, retail trade, foods, beverages, and construction available to residents.
