Salt River Valley

The Salt River Valley defines an extensive valley in central Arizona containing the Phoenix Metropolitan Area. Although this geographic term still identifies the area, the name "Valley of the Sun" popularly replaced the usage starting in the early 1930's for purposes of boosterism.
