Surprise's History

Founded by Flora Mae Statler, Surprise was just one square mile of farm land back in 1938. According to Statler’s daughter Elizabeth Wusich Stoft, her mother once commented "she would be surprised if the town ever amounted to much." That is how Surprise got its name. We think Flora Mae would be proud of what her city has turned into!
