Casa Grande is a modern city in Pinal County that was founded in 1879 and incorporated in 1915. It is named after the Hohokam Indian Ruins located nearby. Casa Grande was originally an agricultural and mining based community, but today it has grown into a modern city with many attractions for full-time and winter residents as well as tourists.
One of the biggest attractions of Casa Grande is its downtown area.
