Casa Grande is a rapidly growing city in Pinal County, approximately halfway between Phoenix and Tucson in the U.S. state of Arizona. According to 2007 Census Bureau estimates, the population of the city is 41,152.[2] It is named after the Casa Grande Ruins National Monument, which is actually located in Coolidge.
Casa Grande was founded in 1879 during the Arizona mining boom and became Incorporated in 1915. A major railroad terminated in Casa Grande, which was originally named "Terminus".
One of the founding fathers of Casa Grande was Thompson Rodney Peart. Peart Road, Peart Park, and the Peart Center, all of which are notable fixtures of Casa Grande, are named after him.
Casa Grande was home to a collective farm society which was part of the New Deal.
