Chandler sits on the Sonoran Desert plain in central Arizona, United States, where the Phoenix metropolitan area spreads between low desert basins and rugged mountain ranges. Founded in 1912 by veterinarian and developer A. J. Chandler, it began as an agricultural town; its historic downtown still preserves the 1913 San Marcos Hotel, an early Arizona resort. Technology employers and residential districts now share the city with public arts venues, including the Chandler Center for the Arts. Tumbleweed Park hosts the annual Chandler Ostrich Festival, recalling the ostrich farms once part of the local agricultural economy.
