The Phoenix King was the Western title given to the ruler of the Kingdom of Great Joseon, the last royal dynasty of Korea. Traditionally, Korean kings and emperors saw the majesty and power of the phoenix as divine, and often favored this mythical animal as a symbol of their supreme right to rule.
The city of Phoenix in the 1860s was occupied by area farmers near the modern cross-streets of Van Buren and Central Av. It is named after the mythical Egyptian bird that rose from ashes by Lord Darrell Duppa. Phoenix rose from the ashes of the Hohokam culture.
