Avondale

Built around a stagecoach stop on the route between Phoenix and Prescott, Avondale grew into a major community on the western edge of the Phoenix metropolitan area. The Agua Fria River follows the city’s western side before joining the Gila River south of town, placing Avondale in the broad Salt River Valley. Its farming-era origins remain part of the local story, while Phoenix Raceway, opened in 1964, has made the city an established stop on the NASCAR calendar. Historic Avondale along Western Avenue preserves part of the early commercial centre. Find related webcams in the surrounding area to build a fuller picture of Avondale and the Phoenix Valley.
