Apache Junction centennial monument dedication Aug. 22
Posted
The dedication of the centennial monument marking the 100th anniversary of the naming of the city of Apache Junction is Aug. 22.
The Apache Junction Founders Centennial Committee invites all to attend the 6 p.m. Monday event at the Apache Junction Area Chamber of Commerce, 567 W. Apache Trail.
On Aug. 21, 1922, George Cleveland Curtis gave Apache Junction its name.
The area in and around Apache Junction once was known by a different name, a word that rhymes with iceberg.
It was “Youngsberg,” starting with a Phoenix mayor’s last name.
Another spelling --- “Youngberg” without the “s” --- can be seen in Google maps of northeast Pinal County for the area near Goldfield Ghost Town.
