Itâs time to get back to our weekly history lessons about Fountain Hills.
In the early months of 1972, the community was experiencing booming growth. Work was progressing on Del Trailorâs Fontana, a 220-unit family residential development in the northeast part of Fountain Hills.
The models were opened in August with a grand opening party with 1,200 people in attendance including a VIP list of dignitaries from Phoenix, all of the employees of McCulloch Properties, Del Trailor and LPE Advertising and their spouses.
A buffet dinner was served at the Sales and Reception Center. Two Mariachi bands added to the festive atmosphere of the evening. After dinner, shuttle buses took the people for tours of the models.
