Imagine it is 1930. F. J. Paddock is Phoenix's Mayor and John C. Phillips is Arizona's Governor. Land that was to become the Story Neighborhood was initially purchased in 1887 and 1906 by Francis Q. Story, a horticulturist who was also known as the "Father of the Sunkist orange." Although platted in March 1920, the development of the Story Neighborhood did not begin until 1923, after the completion of the Kenilworth School and the construction of the Cave Creek Dam. In 1928 the Governor was Geo. W.P. Hunt and Phoenix Mayor was Frank A. Jefferson. F.Q. Story was a middle class neighborhood where there was "something for everyone". The area was at first considered to be too far from the center of town to be suitable for the development. The increasing use of the automobile and growing population made development more feasible. The first homes built in the neighborhood were located between 7th and 11th Avenues, south of Moreland. At that time, the Phoenix city limits extended only as far as 15th Ave. Early residents in the Story Neighborhood included several prominent Phoenix citizens such as: James H. Kerby, Democratic leader and Secretary of State for several terms, R.E. Farley, district representative of the Anti-Saloon League, and Frank Snell, a prominent attorney who built his $12,000 home at 920 Lynwood
