The Town Council of Florence unanimously rejected a resolution that would have approved San Tan Valley's proposed boundaries over concerns of their allotment of state shared revenue. Following the renaming of the area in 2009, a renewed effort at incorporation sought to put the issue to a vote in 2010, this time with the support of Pinal County. A subsequent effort in 2005 failed to gain traction. An initial attempt, which proposed a name of simply 'San Tan' for the area, was blocked by the neighboring town of Florence after rural residents there expressed concern that allowing incorporation would accelerate the urbanization of the area. As early as 2004, attempts to incorporate the area were underway. The area, which had consisted primarily of undeveloped desert and agriculture prior to 2000, experienced considerable growth in the early part of the decade. In response, the Greater San Tan Area Coalition organized a non-binding vote on June 23, offering residents the opportunity to vote on a name for the community. As part of the initial request, 'Bella Vista' name was submitted to the postal service, drawing the ire of some local residents who opposed the suggested name.
