About the area
A little McCormick Ranch history
McCormick Ranch covers about five square miles of central Scottsdale between Indian Bend Road and the Shea Boulevard corridor, with Paradise Valley to the west and the Salt River Pima–Maricopa Indian Community to the east. It is home to close to 14,000 people.
Fowler and Anne McCormick used the land as a winter ranch and hosted the Arabian horse show there from 1956 to 1968. After Anne McCormick's death, about 4,236 acres were sold to Kaiser-Aetna in 1970, and the planned community that followed added seven man-made lakes and more than 25 miles of paths tied into the Indian Bend Wash Greenbelt.
