Site Summary: Casa Grande was located within the heartland of an extensive prehistoric agricultural society. The Hohokam (a Pima Indian term meaning "those who have gone"), with their lengthy canal irrigation system, were masters of the desert. The nation's first archaeological preserve, the monument includes a visitor's center with museum exhibits and trails through the ruins.
