Fountain Hills is a town in Maricopa County, Arizona, USA. It incorporated as an independent municipality in 1989, after spending most of its history as a master planned development on the far northern end of (now neighboring) Scottsdale. For many years the land on which the town sits was a working cattle ranch, and 4,500 acres of it were sold to Robert P. McCulloch in 1968. The town of Fountain Hills is situated on the lower east slopes, of the McDowell Mountains, as they drain into the Verde River

The eponymous fountain was built in 1971 by Robert P. McCulloch, the same year that reconstruction of the London Bridge in Lake Havasu City, another of McCulloch's projects, was completed. The plume of water rises from a concrete water-lily sculpture in the center of a large man-made lake and is driven by three 600-horsepower pumps. When all three pumps are on under zero wind condition, the fountain can reach over 560 feet in height. When built, it was the world's tallest fountain and held that record for over a decade. |
