Prescott | What's in a name, Arizona? | FOX 10 Phoenix

Join FOX 10's Brian Webb and photojournalist Brian Kae as they journey to Prescott, Arizona, a city steeped in Wild West lore and surprising history. Once the territorial capital, Prescott boasts the infamous Whiskey Row, a lively street where legendary figures like Wyatt Earp and Doc Holliday once roamed. Discover the fascinating story behind The Palace, Arizona's oldest bar, which narrowly escaped a devastating fire in 1900 thanks to quick-thinking cowboys who saved the bar, piano, and liquor – ensuring the party continued even as the town burned. Uncover the intriguing origin of Prescott's name, which honors William Prescott, a renowned American historian with no direct ties to Arizona. The unique pronunciation, "Pres-kitt" (like a biscuit!), was a deliberate choice to distinguish it from its British Revolutionary War namesake. Beyond its rich past, explore the delightful Pralines of Prescott, a local candy shop crafting handmade chocolates, including their signature "Rodeo" treats. This episode offers a captivating blend of historical insight, local legend, and mouth-watering confections, revealing the hidden gems and stories that make Prescott truly unique.
