About Waddell

Waddell is an unincorporated community in Maricopa County, Arizona, United States, northwest of Phoenix. Waddell is named after Donald Ware Waddell, a native of Ohio, who was a partner in the New York City investment firm Brandon, Gordon, and Waddell. This firm organized private financing for construction of the dam for the water reclamation project that created Lake Pleasant. The town site was laid out by Donald Waddell in 1935, on property he owned on the northeast corner of Waddell Road and Cotton Lane. Waddell moved to the area to oversee the firm's interest in the project. He served on the board of the Maricopa Water District and invested in land through his Arizona Citrus Land Company and the Waddell Ranch Company.
