Casa Grande History

Irrigation canals and farming were the means in which the ancient Hohokam Indians used to live in the surrounding area, including what is now Casa Grande.  However, by 1450 A.D. the Hohokam people had disappeared.  It continues to be a mystery still today, as to why the Hohokam people abandoned their community.

The Casa Grande Ruins National Monument remains on the northeast edge of town.  The monument reveals the ruins of a once great Hohokam community.  The word Casa Grande means “big house.”  Visitors to the monuments will see a four story high metal roof structure.  This covering protects the “big house” ruin that was built long ago.  This same ruin has also become the city’s namesake.

It wasn’t until 1879, before mining, cattle ranching, and farming brought people back to this area.  The arrival of the railroad was one of the biggest boosts in Casa Grande’s growth.
