Three surveyors in the late 19th century were so attracted to the area�s desert beauty that they named it �the Paradise Valley.� Starting in the 1920s; adobe homes were constructed in various revival styles. In 1936; the Camelback Inn resort set a high-quality standard with an inviting and relaxed character. Other guest lodges arrived; including the Hermosa Inn and the El Chorro Lodge. The 1950s brought more luxurious resorts; including the Paradise Valley Racquet Club and the Mountain Shadows Resort. With the threat of Phoenix or Scottsdale annexing the area; the citizens started debating incorporation in 1949 and were successful in 1961. Churches; schools; town facilities; and single-family homes followed. Numerous town ordinances were adopted to preserve a quiet; desert lifestyle such as burying all utilities; restrictive zoning; and hillside preservation.

1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. A decade of fashion changeBy Janice/Robert W. LairdFun to see what regular people wore during the 1960s; as opposed to the couture stuff worn by Jackie Kennedy; Audrey Hepburn; etc. Huge changes in style throughout the decade; from the classic styles of the early 60s to the really wacko stuff at the end! (And yes; I wore some of these styles!)7 of 7 people found the following review helpful. ColorlessBy KevinThis book; except for the covers; is entirely black and white reproductions of catalog pages. This is disappointing as the colors of the sixties were distinctive.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. 60s fashionsBy Long time collectorI bought books for the 40s; 50s and 60s. This one was the most disappointing. All of them lacked the mens clothing I was researching - but this one was also a bit skimpy on all fashions. 30 pages less than the other two; and fewer garments per page.Back in the 1970s I bought a book of reprints from Sears catalogs of the 1930s; its an inch thick! I use it a lot.The Olian seris is OK. better than nothing.
