The Salt River Valley defines the setting of Glendale — its dry, level expanse and canal-fed development place the city within the western Phoenix metropolitan area. Founded in 1892 by land developer William John Murphy, Glendale retains a compact historic downtown around Murphy Park, where early commercial buildings now house shops and restaurants. State Farm Stadium, home of the NFL’s Arizona Cardinals, and nearby Desert Diamond Arena have made the city a major venue for professional sport and large events. Summers are intensely hot, while cooler months suit walks through Sahuaro Ranch Park’s historic grounds.
