Casa Grande

Casa Grande is best known in Arizona for its connection to Casa Grande Ruins National Monument, whose Great House gave the city its name. Located in the Sonoran Desert, the city lies in the broad basin between the Phoenix and Tucson metropolitan areas. Casa Grande grew after 1879 beside the Southern Pacific Railroad and became a commercial centre for irrigated farming in Pinal County, where cotton remains an important crop. The monument, near Coolidge east of the city, preserves a four-storey caliche structure built around 1350 by ancestral Sonoran Desert people.
