Queen Creek is named for a creek that flowed past the Silver Queen Mine and through the current site of the town.

Cotton, citrus, pecans and other crops were grown in the area, which was originally founded by farmers and homesteaders at the turn of the century. Queen Creek hangs on to its agricultural roots and heritage while managing growth. The town was incorporated in 1969.
 

Queen Creek's rural flavor attracts horse owners and nature lovers who can explore the nearby San Tan and Goldmine mountains. The town's general plan includes parks, trails and an open space plan that calls for a network of multi-use trails throughout the community.
