The Cocopah Indian Land is 13 miles south of Yuma and 15 miles north the San Luis, Mexico in Yuma County. It is at an elevation of 103 feet. Today, the tribe has 750 members. President Woodrow Wilson established the Cocopah Indian Lands in 1917 through an Executive Order. The land created two sections, the West and East Cocopah Indian Lands covering 1,772 acres. In 1985, President Reagan signed the Cocopah Land Acquisition Bill. This bill increased the size of the Indian Land by almost 6,000 acres, including 600 acres for the North Cocopah Indian Lands.Visit www.gpec.org/eresponse/glendale.htm Visit www.gpec.org/eresponse/avondale.htm Visit www.goodyearaz.gov/index.asp?NID=89 Visit www.goodyearaz.gov/index.asp?NID=548 Visit www.globemiamiaz.com/community-globe.htm In 1987, a convenience store, gas station, smoke shop and bingo hall were developed.
