SURPRISE ARIZONA INFO:
Surprise was little more than a gas station and few small houses in 1938 when founder, Homer Charles Ludden, a Glendale real estate developer and state legislator, subdivided the rural square mile parcel into low-cost home sites for the area's agricultural workers, naming it after his southeast Nebraska hometown. Today, it's a 74-square-mile city on the move.
Flanked by one of Arizona's largest mountain preserves, and situated in the stunning Saguaro-dotted Sonoran desert on the northwestern edge of the thriving Valley of the Sun, it's no "surprise" that Surprise has been named Arizona's fastest growing city four years out of the past five. From 10,187 in 1995, the population has more than quadrupled to an estimated 54,000 today.
