Founded in 1879 during Arizona's mining boom, this historic railroad town maintains its heritage while embracing growth. Casa Grande Mountain Park provides hiking trails with sweeping desert views. The Francisco Grande Hotel & Golf Resort holds a special place in baseball history as the former spring training site of the San Francisco Giants.
