Mesa, Arizona is less than twenty miles east of Phoenix. It is the third largest city in the state and the 38th largest in the entire nation, with population close to half a million people. It has a fascinating history that begins over two thousand years earlier with the appearance of the Hohokam peoples. They were a mysterious tribe of Native Americans who left behind a legacy of advanced technology and culture, including the miles of canals they created throughout the surrounding desert areas.
Settlers arrived in the late 1800s and were divided into two separate groups which appeared at almost the same time. There was a Mormon settlement created by Daniel Webster Jones in early 1877, and then there was the First Mesa Company that arrived at the same time, settled on the nearby mesa (flat-topped mountains) and restored many of the original canals into working order.
The city was incorporated in 1883, and was a major military installation throughout the early twentieth century. Today it is primarily a bedroom community though many residents make their living in nearby aerospace companies and in the enormous agricultural establishments too.
