Show Low is a town in Eastern Arizona.
Understand
[edit]The town is named after a poker game between two early settlers of the region. At the end of the game, one settler told the other "if you can show low, you win." The other settler turned the 2 of clubs, won the game and a ranch, and the town was eventually named Show Low. The main street, Deuce of Clubs, is also named after this poker game.
