Founded in 1888, Buckeye was named for the home state (Ohio) of one of its early settlers.

A rural town, Buckeye is 35 miles west of Phoenix at the confluence of the Gila and Hassayampa rivers and is set to boom.

At build-out, land surrounding the town could support one million people, according to projections by the Maricopa Association of Governments.
