Information about the Chino Valley Area
A short history
*Chino Valley is the site of the first Territorial
Capital of Arizona established on January 22, 1864.
U.S. Army Calvary Lt. Amiel W. Whipple gave the
community the name "Chino," which is the Mexican
term for the abundant, curly, gamma grass growing in
the area. Agriculture has been prominent in Chino
Valley’s history and farmers have grown corn,
alfalfa, pinto beans, and raised cattle. The capital
moved to Prescott, 16 miles south, in October 1864.
Modern Chino Valley incorporated in 1970 and the
2004 census reported a population of just under
9,160
with surrounding unincorporated Yavapai County
adding another 10,000 people to the immediate area.
Chino Valley’s elevation is 4,750 ft. and it is 115
miles from the current state capital of Phoenix and
about 15 miles North of Prescott on Highway 89.
