CITY OF MARICOPA COUNCILMEMBERS
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
The Ak-Chin Indian Community A s Chairman of the Ak-Chin Indian Community, I would like to welcome you to our community and invite you and your family to visit us!
Ak-Chin is an O’odham word translated to mean “mouth of the wash” or “place where the wash loses itself in the sand or ground.” The Ak-Chin Indian Community has an enrollment of more than 1,300 tribal members and a land base of just over 22,000 acres. We were formally organized in 1961, under the Indian Reorganization Act of 1934. First and foremost, we are a farming community; Ak-Chin Farms was established in 1963 and currently harvests more than 15,000 acres, making us one of the largest farming communities in the United States. Cotton is the principal crop while barley, potatoes, alfalfa and corn are also grown. We are home to the Ak- Chin Him-Dak Eco-Museum, the first of its kind in the country. The Him-Dak Eco-Museum is a place where objects of our past, our culture and traditions are conserved and shared. Our local deli, Vekol Market serves as a gas station and cafe that offers a variety of options made fresh daily, a wide selection of groceries, a dining area and a patio with outside seating. Ak-Chin Southern Dunes Golf Club, located along Highway 238, provides a welcoming ambiance with breathtaking views. Ak-Chin Southern Dunes is perfect for the golf enthusiast but also offers delicious meals at the Arroyo Grille. Southern Dunes is also rated #6 of golf courses to play in the State of Arizona according to Golfweek Magazine. Ak-Chin Circle, entertainment for the entire family! Harrah’s Ak-Chin Casino offers some 500 luxurious guest rooms with all the amenities to make your stay a comfortable one. The renovated Bingo Hall, newly added conference/banquet space and restaurants are first class for everyone to enjoy. Next door, the Ak-Chin Circle Entertainment Center offers “one stop, non-stop entertainment” featuring theaters (limited seating), bowling, game room, Luxe Lounge sports bar, dining; as well as private event facilities. On behalf of the Ak-Chin Tribal Council and the Ak-Chin Indian Community, we welcome you to Maricopa and we hope to see you soon!
is a beautiful, young city, having been incorporated nearly two decades 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, 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!
