of Casa Grande Photo Courtesy of Museum of Casa Grande The Hohokams abandoned their settlement in this area (now Casa Grande Ruins National Monument) for reasons that are still being questioned and under archeological theory. The Spanish Conquistadors were most likely the first “outsiders” to visit the area, sometime during the mid-1500s. During this time, the Akimel O’Odham lived along the Gila River. In addition, the Tohono O’Odham and the Maricopa peoples settled nearby.

In 1848, the section of Arizona north of the Gila River was part of the land ceded to the United States by the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, ending the Mexican war of 1848. The land south of the Gila River, which includes Pinal County, was acquired in the 1853 Gadsden Purchase.

Casa Grande began as many other towns and cities across the west began: at the end of the railroad. As the Southern Pacific Railroad was being built across Arizona, construction had to stop for a variety of reasons. Each place it stopped was called Terminus until the railroad continued. Each temporary stop was either renamed as a town or abandoned.

The Southern Pacific Railroad Company obtained permission to build from the west to the Colorado River at Yuma. The Southern Pacific arrived at the river opposite Yuma on May 20, 1877— only to have to halt construction until September 29, when the bridge across the Colorado was finished.

Work was resumed November 19, 1878. As the railroad progressed across the desert from Yuma, the heat became oppressive. By May 19, 1879, a point was reached about where the present town of Casa Grande is now located. Work was stopped until January 24, 1880 and that temporary stop was called “Terminus.” In September 1880, executives of the Southern Pacific Railroad renamed the town after the prehistoric Hohokam Indian structure (Great House) and ruins located 20 miles to the east.

The Casa Grande Post Office was established September 10, 1881.

Casa Grande Love It! Guide | 2025

By the end of 1880, Casa Grande had 33 permanent residents. The town boomed as a railhead to mines by 1882. In 1886 and 1893, the town was decimated by fire. All of the wooden-frame buildings that had been erected after the 1886 fire were burned in the 1893 fire.

As result of these fires, the entire business district had to be replaced twice in less than a decade. Although the town might have died after each fire, Casa Grande’s indomitable community spirit stirred and merchants and business leaders rallied together to rebuild. By 1890, the town had an ethnically diverse population of 256, and the town had 70 buildings.

A national mining slump almost killed the town during the 1890s.

By 1902, Casa Grande’s business district had dwindled to a mercantile store, saloon and two smaller stores. Agriculture saved the community from becoming another Southwestern mining ghost town. Small-scale agriculture and farm trade, livestock and vegetables, crops such as alfalfa, wheat, barley, citrus and cotton became important export commodities. Agriculture became an important economic driver for Casa Grande and Pinal County.

The City of Casa Grande was incorporated in 1915.

Casa Grande continued to grow during the 20th Century. The hard-working residents continued to face obstacles head-on. The character traits of determination and community spirit, continued to inspire each generation through today to work through problems and build Casa Grande, while maintaining its renowned small-town charm and friendliness. In 2000, the population of Casa Grande was 20,000. In 2023, it was 60,000 residents.

The ongoing development of industry, manufacturing, technology, commercial business, communications and an ideal central location between Phoenix and Tucson, at the crossroads of I-8 and I-10 have created Casa Grande’s tremendous potential for the future.

We value our long, rich past. Our 145-year history informs who we are today. Careful planning, a solution-based attitude and loveof-community have brought us to this point and will lead us in the decades to come.

Casa Grande Ruins National Monument The Casa Grande Ruins were protected as the nation’s first archaeological reserve beginning in 1892. The site was declared a National Monument in 1918. The park is one of over 20 National Park Service (NPS) sites you can visit in Arizona and one of over 400 NPS sites in the United States.

The Casa Grande (Big House) was built between 1300 and 1400 CE (Current Era). Between 1355 and 1450 CE, the ancestral Sonoran Desert people began to move out of their walled compounds and villages. Archaeologists do not know all the reasons for the dispersal of the people from large walled communities to other areas and smaller communities.

Casa Grande Ruins National Monument, 1100 Ruins Dr., Coolidge, AZ 85128, is open daily from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., except for Juneteeth, Independence Day, Thanksgiving and Christmas when the park is closed. The park is fee-free to visit. Annual and senior passes are no longer available for purchase, however, staff is still available to issue the free passes. Special events and activities are held at the park throughout the year.

For additional information, contact the Casa Grande Ruins National Monument, (520) 723-3172 or visit www.nps.gov/cagr
