Peoria
Peoria is home to Lake Pleasant, the second largest lake in Arizona after Roosevelt Lake. Though Lake Mead is much larger, it is shared by both Arizona and Nevada. Peoria residents enjoy 34 neighborhood parks, three public pools, two large community parks, five dog parks, and more than 26 miles of mountain and multi-use trails. Peoria takes its name from Peoria, Illinois. The city was founded by four families from Illinois who moved to Arizona in 1886 and named the new settlement after their home town.No Matches Found
