Scottsdale is a town with a unique, rich, and vibrant history and understanding a little more about Scottsdale can help you enjoy the adventures you experience here a little more. Known as the West’s Most Western Town, the town was once a large and successful ranching community and today, in spite of its cosmopolitan lifestyle and luxury homes, you can still spot hints of what life might have been in its early days. As a matter of fact, the Titus House, a Victorian home built in 1892 is a great example of early architecture and although you can’t tour the inside, it is a private home, it shows how we appreciate and honor the past!
