Mesa History

Mesa's historical background started around 2,000 years to the Hohokam public's appearance, who built the canal system in the area through which they transform the Sonoran Desert into agricultural land. Hohokam people established around 100 miles of canals, and some of them are also in use today.

In 1887 after Hohokam, Jones and Mormon officials established a settlement and settled the north side of Mesa. Because of farmland availability, a company was paid in the west of the First company in 1879. Mesa was registered as a town in 1878. After registration, George Nicholas Goodman started working to gain land for both Falcon Field and Williams Field. They started those lands in the 1940s, through which much military staff began to move to Mesa.
