About Us

Founded in 1888 and incorporated eight decades ago as a 440-acre town, Buckeye has surged into the 21st century with a 600-square-mile planning area. There are currently 30 proposed master planned communities, and almost 400,000 single-family units have been approved. In just six of those developments, more than a quarter-million homes are planned, as well as 71 elementary schools, 13 high schools and more than 4,500 areas of commercial, retail and employment development.

Population figures are beginning to reflect that anticipated growth. The 2000 census had Buckeye’s population at 6,537. By 2005, that number had risen to more than 25,000. Projections call for the Town to grow to 100,000 by 2010 and 265,000 the decade after.



But Buckeye isn’t just about new rooftops and new residents. An upscale resort, major retail centers, office parks and almost three million square feet of industrial space are on the horizon. A new Recreation Center and fire station have opened, and Buckeye is the site of the 20th youth baseball field donated by the Diamondbacks – Craig Counsell Field.



This growth has not caught us off guard. During the past year, our senior staff and experts from Arizona State University’s Global Institute for Sustainability have met to discuss how the Town can endure into the future. They’ve talked about economic development and job creation, emerging social issues, transportation, available water resources and parks and open space.



The Town has formed a unique partnership with the state Department of Water Resources and developers to determine the amount of water that lies beneath the Hassayampa River Basin west of the White Tank Mountains. We are an active participant in transportation studies aimed at determining what transportation corridors will be needed as the Town grows, and we are supporting efforts to accelerate the widening of Interstate 10 and upgrading Highway 85.



We have a master plan that establishes guidelines for parks and open spaces throughout Buckeye, and we have submitted an application for a state grant to develop Buckeye Town Lake just south of the downtown.



And while many communities in Maricopa County have been criticized for destroying the desert with a sea of rooftops, we are striving to preserve almost 120 square miles of federal Bureau of Land Management land – pristine Sonoran desert – for future generations.



Whether you are surfing our user-friendly web pages, exploring the shops and restaurants in our historic downtown or looking for a home in our family-friendly community, we’re happy to have you here.
