I think it would have been cool if Arizona's capital remained in Prescott. The territorial capital bounced around a few times, from Prescott to Tucson to Prescott. Tucson was the largest city at the time, but it wasn't the most desirable because of strong Confederate and Mexican influences. The southern part of the territory sided with the Confederates so it was decided to establish the first capital of AZ in Prescott.

There was a proposal to have the capital placed in La Paz county along the California border and at the confluence of the Salt and Verde Rivers which would be in present day Tonto National Forest and Indian Reservation lands.
