They'll put capitals in some of the wackiest places...like where Arizona's
territorial capital was from 1867-77, until they moved it back
to--Prescott?...r

Needless to say Phoenix was nothing more than some adobe huts and
Hohokam irrigation canals at the time.

as a matter of fact, what was the population of AZ in 1945? I;'d wager
something miniscule like the sub 10,000 in Las vegas and Clark county at
the same time.

And thus began the practice of giving directions in Phoenix by telling the
enquiring party what *used* to be there....r

Roughly 600,000 for Arizona.

In 1950 Phoenix was about 107,000

much more settled than NV was at that time then. I don't think NV was
even 100,000?

"Sarah Banick" climbed onto an orange
crate and shouted:

There was never an established pattern for capital cities. They've mostly
evolved as their states' economic activities evolved. By the way, land grant
state colleges were also founded in "rural cities."

Land grant universities were often founded near the geographic center
of the state, whether there was a city there or not. This sometimes
gives rise to jokes that the universities are equally remote from all
parts of the state.

Musta been quite spread out. I first passed through there in '51.
Tucson, where you live, woulda been missed with a blink; Phoenix two
blinks.
