Show Low, AZ: Marion Clark and Corydon E. Cooley owned a 100,000 acre ranch. They decided to play a game of cards and the winner would own the ranch outright. The game lasted all night. When the last hand began, Cooley needed one point to win. Clark told Cooley "SHOW LOW and the ranch is yours." Cooley turned up the deuce of clubs, thereby naming Show Low. The main street became the Deuce of Clubs.
