Welcome to Show Low, Arizona

Show Low was named after an all-night poker game played between two early settlers.  They decided there wasn’t enough room for both in the community and agreed to let a card game decide who was to get the 100,000-acre ranch and who was to move on.  According to the story, one of them said, “If you can show low, you win.”  The other one turned up the deuce of clubs and replied, “show low it is.” Show Low got its name from that card game and Show Low’s main street is named the “Deuce of Clubs” in remembrance.
