| About Show-Low -
Show Low is a town in east central Arizona, on the
Mogollon Rim at an elevation of 6,400 feet. It is located in Navajo County,
Arizona. 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. As
of the 2000 census, the city had a total population of 7,695.
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.
