Honk if You Love Higley!
Welcome to the the Make Higley Historic! blogspot! Your definitive source of Higley happenings - past, present and future.
Anyone who knows Higley is aware that its boundaries and residents have been quite elusive the last 100 years. This page has been created to bring together fellow Higleans, Gilbillies, San Tan-ites, travelers and friends who all have something to say about the history of this unique place.
Higley needs your voice! If you are interested in authoring posts for this community blog, we'd love to hear from you and the site administrator will get you set up. Please feel free to email any photos you would like to share to makehigleyhistoric@gmail.com and we will add them to the page. And if you know of any older folks who may not be technologically savvy or speak only Spanish, let us know and we can arrange an interview so their stories are recorded as well.
We look forward to hearing from many and hope you all check in weekly for updates and new posts about our history and our efforts for recognition. Thank you kindly for all of your support in making Higley's historic value known!

Happy New Year!!!
Attached is a link to a website offering histories on the roads that run through the southeast valley as assembled by the staff and students of Chandler Gilbert Community College. This collection was sponsored by the City of Chandler who has partnered with CGCC in Community History Projects, which focuses on oral histories and community based research in an effort to preserve the past.
Higley isn't a featured road on the page, but ours is a history that is shared with southerly horizontal streets, so this site was definitely worth sharing with you all!

Do you know if Higley Hot Dog is going to survive all this? I grew up on Fairview Lane, my parents still live there. If they take down Higley Hot Dog, I think I might cry. Hurray for Higley!!
