Our History

A city built on heritage, progress, and community. 

Casa Grande was founded in 1879 as a stop along the Southern Pacific Railroad and was originally called "Terminus", marking the temporary end of the line. As the town developed, it was renamed Casa Grande in 1880, inspired by the nearby Casa Grande Ruins National Monument, a remarkable prehistoric structure built by the Hohokam people around 1350. 

Though the ruins are located in present-day Coolidge, they remain an iconic part of the region’s identity and history. Casa Grande has grown from its railroad beginnings into a thriving, modern city, proud of its past and focused on the future.
