Getting to know Old Town Scottsdale
Old Town occupies the original Scottsdale townsite. Army chaplain Winfield Scott bought 640 acres here in 1888, the settlement took the Scottsdale name in 1894, and the town incorporated in 1951 with roughly 2,000 residents.
Several early buildings still stand on the city's historic register, including the 1913 Charles Miller House, the 1921 Farmer's State Bank building on Main Street, and Scottsdale's first post office from 1929, now a western-wear store on Brown Avenue.
