According to the legend, the town was named after a marathon poker match, where the stakes were a 100,000 acre ranch. After no one seemed to get the upper hand, one player decided to end the contest by declaring to the other, "show low and you win". The other player produced a deuce of clubs (the lowest possible card) and won the ranch. Show Low's main street is named "Deuce of Clubs" in remembrance.
In 2002, a large forest fire, the Rodeo-Chediski fire, threatened the town and forced an evacuation. The town is near extensive forests, and in normal times is a popular recreational area.
Show Low, the commercial and tourism hub of the White Mountains, was established in 1870a and incorporated in 1953. Located in southern Navajo County at an elevation of 6,350 feet, our city is 175 miles northeast of Phoenix and 195 miles north of Tucson.
