George W. Wilson and Martha V. Wilson originally agreed to exchange five acres of their property for $500 raised by the citizens of Tempe. The Wilsons then generously donated 15 additional acres of land, creating the core of the original 20 acre campus. They continued to use the land to graze cattle for their business, the Pioneer Meat Market. In 1906 George Wilson became grounds keeper - a position he held for the next 25 years. Wilson Hall is named for him.
