Sun City, Arizona, also know as the “City of Volunteers” was founded in 1960 by Del E. Webb Development Company. The community called Sun City was the first active adult retirement community in the nation. Inspired by the success of nearby Youngtown, a retirement community established in 1955, Del Webb decided to take this concept to a new level by creating a self-sustaining community that would be all encompassing with affordable housing and active living recreation.
In the late 1950s Del E. Webb Development Company bought 20,000 acres of land just to the west of Youngtown, Arizona. The area was once known as Marinette and was primarily used for farming cotton. In 1959 Del E. Webb Development Company began to create the community, first building a shopping center, then a golf course and a recreation center.
Although it would have made sense of Del E. Webb Development to keep the name “Marinette” after the cotton community, however, Del Webb decided to launch a nationwide contest to find the perfect name. Legend has it that Mr. Webb himself picked the winning name after seeing it among thousands of entries they received.
Sun City sold 2,000 homes in its first three years of marketing and attracted over 100,000 visitors in the first three days of the grand opening. Sun City’s initial success made it into national news from printed articles TV shows, including the 1962 cover of Time Magazine.
As the population grew in Sun City, so did the need for commercial growth such as shopping and health care. In 1969 Boswell Hospital broke ground after a successful community fund drive raised $1.2 million as a donation to James G. Boswell Foundation to build the facility.
Today, Sun City is made up of nearly 40,000 population, 11 golf courses, and the largest concentration of recreational facilities in the United States.
