The History of Mesa in Arizona

 

history of Mesa started way before Arizona was a territory or a state in the USMany people think that the history of Mesa started in 1877 when Daniel Webster Jones established a Mormon Settlement that eventually transformed into what we today call the City of Mesa, Arizona. However, this is not the case.
Many historians believe that a group of people called the Hohokam had lived in Arizona since 2,000 BC, and is the start of the history of Mesa.
The Hohokam people are well known for their advanced prehistory methods of irrigation. They ran canals for thousands of miles across the Southwestern United States. There was a canal discovered in Mesa, AZ that was 15’ deep and 45’ wide.
Nobody is entirely sure of why the Hohokam people disappeared from Mesa.  Many suspect that it was due to Smallpox.
Later on, it is rumored that Spanish Explorer Coronado may have had expeditions that skirted into Mesa as well as Catholic priest, Father Kino.

A City is Born & the History of Mesa Continues

The City of Mesa was first registered on the 17th of July, 1878 and was incorporated five years later with a pop. of 300 citizens.
In 1917, the Mesa Canal had enough volume to construct a power plant. This power plant financed many improvements to Mesa including, roads, hospitals, town hall and library. And all of this is on record, and adds to the rich history of Mesa, Arizona.
