History
Corydon E. Cooley and Marion Clark decided to play seven-up to decide who would leave at the breakup of a partnership. Cooley needed one point to win when Clark said 'If you can show low, you win'. Cooley showed his hand and replied 'Show low it is'. The term became the name of the place (AZ-T101).
