Allah, Arizona

Allah is a populated place located in Maricopa County, Arizona.

Geography
Allah has an estimated elevation of 1955 ft above sea level.

History
It was originally called "Brill's Ranch", but the name was changed due to its resemblance to a desert in a fictional novel, The Garden of Allah. That name has since been shortened to its current form. Garden of Allah was founded as a resort in 1913 by John Sanger, who bought the Brill Ranch. The resort has been called "likely the first dude ranch in Arizona".

The YMCA opened a summer camp at the site in 1918. A post office operated briefly, from 1917 to 1919. Frances Sanger served as postmaster.

Allah's population was 100 in the 1960 census.

A rail stop was built to accommodate the area. The ruins of the Allah Railroad Station are still visible.
