Casa Grande began as a Southern Pacific stop, grew on cotton and dairy farming, and today sits where I-10 and I-8 carry traffic through Pinal County. Its oldest houses and newest ones face the same hot, low desert pests.
Casa Grande is a Pinal County city of 53,658 people at the 2020 census, set at about 1,380 feet roughly halfway between Phoenix and Tucson. The Southern Pacific Railroad created it: a camp called Terminus opened in 1880 with five residents and was renamed Casa Grande that September after the nearby Hohokam ruins. For decades the economy ran on cotton and dairy farms, and Lucid Motors is now the largest employer.
The city lists about 56 properties on local or national historic registers, including the 1925 Southern Pacific depot, fieldstone buildings from the 1920s and the Evergreen Historic District. Newer neighborhoods and active adult communities such as Mission Royale have been built since 2000. The summer heat is extreme, with a record high of 125 degrees. Whether your house went up in the 1920s or the 2020s, Precision Pest Control brings eco-friendly products and a plan sized to it.
