Buckeye

Then and Now

by Verlyne Meck

With a population of more than 48,000, Buckeye is the ninth-fastest growing municipality in the United States. The town's rapid growth has left many longtime residents wondering what happened to the place where they grew up. Originally an agricultural community, Buckeye has embraced the 21st century, becoming a hub for the affordable housing market in the Valley of the Sun. Buckeye's colorful history is told by an Arizona Culture Keeper and lifelong resident of the Buckeye Valley, Verlyne Meck, who has woven a tapestry of words and images that tell the unique story of the Buckeye Valley.
