Folklore has it that Surprise Arizona gets its name because an early resident was supposed to have said that if a city grew here,it would be a Surprise.

Surprise! A city did grow here. And a fast growing city it is also. Recent figures released by the U.S. Census Bureau say that between the year 2000 census,and the 2006 revised estimate that Surprise grew over 177%,from 30,918 people to 85,914. John Hagen of the cities economic development department estimates that population is now over 100,000. He also states that the city leads the country in job growth.

Opportunities abound in Surprise,whether you are looking for a home to raise a family,or a place to start a business.
