How Show Low Got Its Name
It seems Marion Clark and Corydon E. Cooley, a noted Army scout during the Apache wars, were joint owners of a 100,000-acre ranch in 1875. Sometime later, they decided the place wasn’t big enough for the both of them. To settle who moved, they agreed to play a card game called Seven Up. As the legend goes, the partners played all night. On the last hand, Cooley needed just one point to win. Clark turned his cards over and said, “If you can show low – you win.” Cooley cut the deck, drew an unbeatable two of clubs and retorted, “Show low it is.” And that, as legend has it, was how the town was named.
