John W. "Jack" Swilling (April 1, 1830 – August 12, 1878) was an early pioneer in the Arizona Territory. He is commonly credited as one of the original founders of the city of Phoenix, Arizona. Swilling also played an important role in the opening of the central Arizona highlands to white settlement. His discoveries resulted in a gold rush to the region, and this in turn led to the establishment of Arizona's first territorial capital at the mining town of Prescott.

  • John W. « Jack » Swilling (1er avril 1830 - 12 août 1878) était un pionnier dans le territoire de l'Arizona. On lui attribue généralement la fondation de la ville de Phoenix. Swill a également joué un rôle important dans l'ouverture des hauts plateaux de l'Arizona à la colonisation blanche. Ses découvertes ont entraîné une ruée vers la région, ce qui a conduit à la création de la première capitale territoriale de l'Arizona à la ville minière de Prescott. (fr)
  • John W. "Jack" Swilling (1º aprile 1830 – 12 agosto 1878) è stato un esploratore, imprenditore e pioniere statunitense, celebre soprattutto per essere stato il fondatore della città di Phoenix, in Arizona, nel 1867.In realtà, altri avevano visto e descritto i canali hohokam abbandonati della regione, ma fu Jack Swilling che ebbe la visione per organizzare e creare il primo riuscito, moderno progetto di irrigazione nella Valle del Salt River in Arizona. La "Swilling Irrigating and Canal Company" diede avvio alla piccola comunità agricola di Phoenix, che da allora si è sviluppata in un'importante area metropolitana. (it)
