Casa Grande's history dates back to the Hohokam people, who inhabited the area for centuries. The city was officially founded in the early 20th century, primarily as an agricultural hub. Cotton and dairy farming were significant contributors to its economy.

Over the years, Casa Grande has evolved, attracting residents from nearby urban areas. Today, it serves as a commuter town for those working in Phoenix and Tucson, while still maintaining its agricultural roots.
