THINGS YOU DIDN’T (OR DID YOU?) KNOW ABOUT SCOTTSDALE We Could Be Living in Orangedale In 1888, U.S. Army Chaplain Winfield Scott moved to Arizona and purchased 640 acres (at $3.50 an acre) where Old Town Scottsdale is today. The unincorporated area was known as “Orangedale,” due to the proliferation of citrus trees that the adjacent land owner was growing. This land owner, Albert Utley, often directed people to his land by saying that he was “near Scott’s.” A newspaper article written about the area mistakenly referred to the new settlement as Scottsdale and the name stuck, ousting the previous moniker of Orangedale. Makes you wonder why poor Mr. Utley never received credit for building up the area – although “Utleyville” isn’t nearly as nice of a name as Scottsdale!
One of Scottsdale’s First Businesses George “Cavie” Cavalliere brought his family to Scottsdale in 1909 and opened his blacksmith shop on Second Street and Brown Avenue. While the horse gave way to mechanical equipment, the shop added farm equipment and auto repair to its services, as well as ornamental ironworks. This business is still in operation today and is a glowing example of how the enterprising spirit of Scottsdale’s pioneers helped establish the city we live in today. George “Cavie” had eight children, including George “Doc” Cavalliere, who was born in 1916 and was Scottsdale’s eldest native-born resident when he passed at the age of 92. Doc served on Scottsdale’s first City Council, operated the family’s blacksmith business for 50 years and ran the Reata Pass Steakhouse and Greasewood Flat tavern for decades. Now, when you drive by the 34-acre park named in his honor at Alma School Road north of Jomax, you’ll know why Scottsdale values their “native son.”

How World War II Benefitted Scottsdale Scottsdale Airport was created in 1942 as a training facility for Army Air Corps pilots. Then known as Thunderbird Field II, the flight school graduated more than 5,500 students. As the war in Europe was escalating, so did the training of cadets. In 1943, at the peak of training activity, 615 cadets were making 1,845 separate takeoffs and landings a day. As World War II came to an end, the training facility closed down operations as well. Today, the Scottsdale Airport is the second busiest single-runway airport in the country and the 2,600acre commercial area surrounding the airport has become one of the most important economic stimuli for the City of Scottsdale.
