New Resident Guide 2020 | InMaricopa.com/NewResidentGuide
WELCOME TO MARICOPA A s mayor, it is my distinct honor and privilege to welcome you to your new home in the city of Maricopa. Maricopa is a beautiful, young city, having been incorporated only a little over a decade ago, in October 2003. As a relatively new city, this can present a host of challenges, but it also presents unparalleled opportunities for growth, expansion and success! As you have undoubtedly seen, Maricopa is a new, thriving and beautiful community, and truly an ideal location to raise a family or retire with purpose. Here we have bustling schools, open parks, great amenities, fun events, safe neighborhoods, connected social groups, new and expanding businesses — you will find there is no shortage of things in which to immerse yourself. Despite all these great reasons to live here, I believe our greatest assets in Maricopa are her residents. I know you will quickly discover Maricopa’s unique sense of community spirit, pride and belonging that is getting harder and harder to find in America today. We have so many knowledgeable, intelligent, kind, generous, caring and friendly neighbors, who are ready to meet you, shake your hand, say hello to you in the grocery store, volunteer or simply lend a hand when needed. Hopefully you will discover what my family and I have come to realize as each day passes. Simply put: We love Maricopa! And I know you will, too. On behalf of the entire City Council, welcome home… and welcome to Maricopa!

Shortly after Maricopa found its new home, Maricopaville succumbed to the flames of a destructive fire, taking most of its buildings and homes, and sending its few inhabitants east to Maricopa Junction. During the next 35 years, Maricopa Junction experienced modest prosperity building churches, a hotel and schoolhouse. In 1912, under President Taft, the federal government established reservation land south of Maricopa Junction. Less than a year later the federal government shrunk the reservation by half due to opposition from area farmers. Ak-Chin Indian Community was established in 1961. The population of Maricopa in 1920 was 381. In 1930, in the first year of the Great Depression, that number was reduced to 143. Later, in 1935, the M&P Line closed. Over the following decade, the area struggled with the effects of the Depression and then a war-time economy. After World War II, the community began to again experience modest growth, even expanding the schoolhouse to accommodate the growing population. Over the next 60 years, some of the most well-known Maricopa families — Smiths, Farrells, Andersons and Burks — moved to the community and established their roots. In 1995, State Route 347 was finished, paralleling the old M&P Branch Line. The City of Maricopa officially incorporated in 2003. In less than 15 years, Maricopa’s population grew from just over 1,000 to more than 43,000 in 2010. Today, the population is estimated to be more than 52,000.

S ince pre-Columbian times, Maricopa has had three distinct locations, each with its unique history. Prior to and during the early colonial period, native bands of the Akimel O’odham (Pima) and Pee- Posh (Maricopa) lived in the Valley around the Gila River. Relying on native trails and the “good-natured” tribes in the area, a stagecoach route was established just west of Pima Butte connecting Tucson with Phoenix. Along that route south of the Gila River, about eight miles northwest of the current city limits, a relay station was built. Settlers called the stop Maricopa Wells after the O’odham word for the Pee-Posh people. A steady supply of fresh water made it a desert oasis fed by wells reaching into the underground Gila River. When Arizona became a territory in 1863, there were only three communities in the state with considerable size — Tucson, Prescott and Maricopa Wells.
Prior to the construction of the Southern Pacific Railroad, Maricopa Wells was a major supply post on the Transcontinental Mail Line and Butterfield Overland Stage Mail Line. Upon completion of the SPRR in 1879, the post was moved south to meet the tracks at its second home — Maricopaville — about 3.5 miles west of its current location. Maricopaville suffered a short life, lasting only about seven years before being moved to its third and final locale. There were intentions to build a second rail line to connect Maricopaville to Phoenix (M&P Branch Line), but residents in Tempe became upset by the prospect of being excluded from access to the north-south line. In 1886, their noise eventually forced the M&P Branch terminus (Maricopa Junction) east to where the city of Maricopa is today. In 1887, the first M&P train went into operation, and a year later the Maricopa post office opened.

JOHN WAYNE AKA THE DUKE
John Wayne was born Marion Morrison in Winterset, Iowa.
Wayne and Johnson moved into the cattle business in the 1960s, running a feedlot near Maricopa and a ranch near Springerville.
He grew up in Southern California and became a movie extra and then an actor after losing his scholarship to USC in the 1920s.
One of Wayne’s favorite watering holes was Table Top Tavern in
Stanfield.
Johnson’s wife Alice put Wayne on a weight-loss program for his
movie roles.
At the peak of the Wayne and Johnson cattle partnership, they
had 85,000 head.

COTTON WORKERS REMEMBER MOVING TO ‘HELLHOLE’ IN 1940S BY PATRICIA BROCK AND THE MARICOPA HISTORICAL SOCIETY

B ertha Anderson Easley and her husband Jay Easley came to Maricopa in 1947. “We lived on Porter Ranch, and Jay worked for the Porter family,” Bertha said. Several members of her husband’s family were already living in Maricopa and working for E.K. Porter, who lived east of Maricopa on Porter Road. Family members included Jay’s brother Leland (wife Ruth) Easley, Richard Easley and Rufus (wife Rene Easley) Cooper working in the area. Bertha was born in 1922 in Seamore, Texas, where she spent her childhood living in tents and following the oilrigs. Her father, Dee Anderson, worked as a driller for an oil company. However, this did not prepare her for life in a small farming community in the middle of the Arizona desert. “We moved to Maricopa after the war when my husband came home from the service,” she said. “My first impression of Maricopa was I thought it was a hellhole. All the roads were fine dirt and gravel. The businesses in Maricopa consisted of a couple of bars, one store, a post office located in the train depot, one gas station located on one street (Maricopa Highway) and a small school.” During cotton-picking season, the Easleys went to Oklahoma and hauled people into
Ruth and Leland moved to Maricopa in 1949 to work on the Porter cotton ranch, which was located just east of town on the way to Casa Grande. “On weekends, the camp could get pretty rowdy,” Ruth said. “There would be gambling, drinking and fighting. My niece, Bobbie Honeycutt Stewart, reminded me of an incident where my husband suffered an injury to his hand, when he attempted to break up a fight and was cut by a knife. Just one more Saturday night on the farm.” They later moved to a small ranch owned by Bruce Wing and Jack Wright, where Leland worked as a farmhand and ran a harvesting crew. After the birth of their second child, they moved into Maricopa and ran the Wander Bar, built by Jack Burkett, a Maricopa pioneer. That property, just north of present-day Napa Auto, later became La Roca, which has since been demolished. “I remember there was a post office, two grocery stores; hotel and restaurant combined in Maricopa,” Ruth Easley said. “There were two bars, one service station, some Southern Pacific railroad houses along the railroad tracks. Possibly some others I’ve forgotten.”
Maricopa to pick the cotton. Living in a cabin and a boxcar, Bertha ran lunch wagons for cotton pickers. She served stew or beans, making trips once a week to Phoenix to get groceries. They also served dinners at night for the pickers. “We ate meat, potatoes and vegetables, and for dessert we had cake or cookies,” she said. “We had no refrigerator, just an icebox. Nor did we have indoor toilets or showers … just outside toilets and bathtubs. I picked some cotton, but not much. I helped cook and served. We paid in cash to the pickers. “While in Maricopa, we had flash floods that washed our roads out. We couldn’t get out unless we walked through water…which we did. Sometimes, Mr. Porter would take us through the water on a tractor to get our groceries at Casa Grande, or we would walk to Maricopa along the railroad tracks. We would take the kids’ wagon to bring back ice and whatever else we needed until the water went down.” Ruth Easley, who was married to Jay’s brother Leland, said, “My family and my husband’s family were part of the ‘Dust Bowl’ migration to California in the 1930s. I met George Leland Easley in Modesto, California, and married him June 29, 1947.
