Chandler was founded as a ranch in the 1890s, owned by Dr. Alexander John Chandler, the city's namesake. With slow growth through much of the 20th century, Chandler hit a period of rapid expansion in the 1980s as Arizona's tourism industry grew. The city also became a high-tech manufacturing center as a result of the Phoenix high-tech boom.
Chandler's natural beauty near the mountains at the edge of the Phoenix metro area is protected through a network of local parks, as well as nearby South Mountain Park, often mentioned as the largest city park in the world, with nearly 17,000 acres of beautiful desert mountain preserve land.
