The History of Avondale, Arizona
William "Billy" G. Moore arrived in Arizona in the late 1860s and settled near the Agua Fria (Spanish for "cold water") River around 1880. Billy Moore called his settlement "Coldwater, Arizona" - apparently both for the river and for the water that flowed from a local spring. He served a brief stint as Justice of the Peace for the Agua Fria area. He bought land, established a stage stop on the Butterfield Stage Run, erected a saloon and a general store, and was even Postmaster of Coldwater from 1901 till 1905.
In the early 1900s, the Coldwater post office moved to a location near Avondale Ranch. It is rumored that, Billy Moore had lost his position as Postmaster because he violated postal regulations, which prohibited the selling of alcohol from the same building that inhabits a post office.
Soon after the new post office was moved, it became known as Avondale, and the name Coldwater was put an end to. The City of Avondale was incorporated in December of 1946. Every year, Avondale and its neighboring communities have a tradition of celebrating the area's past with a parade down Western Avenue, a fun-filled carnival, burro races, a golf tournament and much more.
