About Us
Arizon

ng areas
Casa Grande Valley Newspapers Inc. is a privately owned and operated
newspaper and commercial printing company located in Casa Grande,
Arizona. It publishes a daily newspaper, five weekly/semi-weekly
newspapers and five specialty publications. www.trivalleycentral.com
is the company’s online version of its newspapers.
Its flagship daily newspaper, the Casa Grande Dispatch, is
published Tuesday through Sunday mornings. The Dispatch
turned 100 years old in January 2012, and is Casa Grande’s oldest
business in operation. Founded in 1912 by Evans T. Richardson, the
newspaper was purchased by Ruth and Donovan M. Kramer Sr. in
1962, and CGVNI is one of the area’s largest employers.
The Florence Reminder & Blade-Tribune, the company’s oldest
newspaper, has been part of the fabric of Florence since 1892. In the
late 1800s, the newspaper’s publisher, Thomas F. Weedin, was one
of the newspapermen credited with exposing James Addison Reavis,
the self-styled “Baron of Arizona,” and his fraudulent claim to a large
Spanish land grant in southern Arizona. Weedin also ran for governor in
Arizona’s first year of statehood.

ADVERTISING RATES____________________________
Casa Grande is a dynamic, involved community, a modern city with rural
heritage and old-fashioned values. Its economic base is a mix of retail trade, factory
outlet shopping, manufacturing and agriculture.
Founded in 1879, Casa Grande was named for the famous Hohokam Indian Ruins, 20
miles to the northeast. Midway between Phoenix and Tucson, the city has grown to be
the largest community in Western Pinal County since its incorporation in 1915.
Casa Grande is strategically located at the intersection of two interstate highways (I-8
and I-10), in an area known as Arizona’s Golden Corridor.
Once dependent on agriculture and mining, the community has evolved into a diversified
full-service area with manufacturing, retail trade, government and tourist-related
employment. Pinal County is comprised of designated Enterprise Zones. Its industries
include Frito-Lay, Abbott Laboratories/Ross Products, Monsanto, Franklin Foods,
Ehrmann Arizona Dairy, Wal-Mart Distribution Center, Cardinal Glass and Bull Moose
Tube. PhoenixMart sourcing center and Sam’s Club are making Casa Grande their
home, too. Additionally, firms such as Hexcel provide a strong manufacturing base.
Casa Grande is known as a “Community First” hometown, and is a forward-thinking city
yet one that has retained its small-town charm.
Casa Grande’s location, its mild climate and scenic attractions, make it attractive
to tourists and winter visitors. Population in-city is approximately 33,000.

Coolidge, halfway between Phoenix and Tucson, is the commercial center of
Arizona’s cotton industry. In 1925, after construction of the Coolidge Dam transformed
the flat desert into rich farm and ranch land, R.J. Jones laid out an 80-acre site to found
the city. The city’s name honors the U.S. President who dedicated Coolidge Dam in
1930.
supplies and personal services for farm families. Community efforts and the addition of
manufacturing plants have provided jobs.
Incorporated in 1945, the city now covers nine square miles and has more than 12,000
residents. The Casa Grande Ruins National Monument, and the warm dry winter
climate, make it an ideal tourist and retirement center. Hundreds of thousands of visitors
stop to see the Ruins in Coolidge annually.
Casa Grande Ruins National Monument is a four-story Indian pueblo built around 1350
A.D. by the Hohokam Indians of the Gila Valley on a 472-acre site. Picacho Peak, a state
park 26 miles south of Coolidge, encompasses 3,400 acres and displays dense stands
of saguaro cactus, as well as many examples of desert vegetation. Hiking, camping and
nature study are popular all year round.
From Coolidge’s founding until the early 1950s, the economy was mainly dependent on
agriculture, and, to a lesser extent, mining. Growth was relatively steady until the late
1940s. As water use reached an optimum and mechanical equipment replaced farmworkers, it leveled off. The Coolidge economy diversified as manufacturers located in
and near the city, employment increased in mines in eastern Pinal County, and greater
emphasis was placed on winter tourism.
Within a short drive from Coolidge are the Gila River Indian Community, with picturesque
villages, Catholic missions and an Arts and Crafts Center; the Tohono O’odham Nation,
with basketry and handicraft items; Pinal Pioneer Parkway, one of the state’s most
beautiful scenic drives; and numerous lakes, with excellent fishing and water-based
activities.
Coolidge is in the major growth corridor between Phoenix and Tucson. Today, it is a
regional trade and service center for agricultural producers, providing equipment,
Coolidge offers special programs for winter visitors. November through April are filled
with activities such as potlucks, tours and festivals.

Government agencies, such as the Arizona Training Program, Central Arizona College,
the Arizona State Prison and the County Courthouse are also major sources of jobs.

Eloy
is an agricultural/travel/commercial center located along the growth corridor
between Phoenix and Tucson. In 1902, the Southern Pacific Railroad built a switch
about 6 miles west of Picacho, which may have been named for the acronym of “East
Line of Yuma.”
In 1918, W.L. Bernard, J.E. Meyer and John Alsdorf purchased the east half of the
Eloy section and drilled a well. They subdivided the land and called it Cotton City. They
also bought land west of Eloy and divided it into tracts for raising cotton. In 1919 an
application was made for a post office, but the name Cotton City was rejected in favor of
Eloy. The Pinal County community incorporated in 1949.
Eloy lies in the Santa Cruz Basin, one of the state’s most fertile agricultural areas. More
than 100,000 acres in the valley are irrigatable, producing cotton, grains, vegetables and
citrus. Cattle ranching is also important to the area.
Eloy, which is midway between Phoenix and Tucson on Interstate 10, is a stopping place
for travelers on the highway which stretches from Florida to California. Its location on the
Eloy Enterprise
main line of the Union Pacific Railroad, and on I-10 near the junction with
I-8, makes it attractively situated for industries where transportation is a key factor.
Industries in Eloy include HASA of Arizona, Owens Corning, Schuff Steel, Otto Plastics
Arizona, LLC, San Juan Pools, and ELRUS Aggregate Systems. Population is more
than 11,000.
Skydive Arizona, one of the largest skydiving centers in the nation, is at Eloy Municipal
Airport. The elevation is 1,568 feet. Picacho Peak is the site of the only Civil War battle
in Arizona. The battle is re-enacted each spring. Mt. Newman and the rest of the Picacho
Mountains offer a beautiful panorama to the east of Eloy. The Sawtooth Mountains have
a very distinctive profile to the south and west. There are abundant facilities for tourists
and residents alike at Picacho Peak State Park and the surrounding area. Another point
of historic interest is the Casa Grande Ruins National Monument, 15 miles north of Eloy.
There is abundant dove and quail hunting in season, as well as bird watching for many
rare species.
Water enthusiasts enjoy several man-made lakes to the northeast, where they can fish,
swim and water ski nearly all year.

Florence is in Pinal County midway between Phoenix and Tucson. Colonel Levi
In January 1987, Florence was selected for inclusion in the Main Street Program
sponsored by the National Trust for Historic Preservation. This public/private partnership
program assists businesses in design and promotion, with the ultimate goal of economic
revitalization for the central business district.
The Florence business district is still on Main Street and, aside from the obvious
improvements, downtown remains much as it must have been in the 1880s. Both
visitors and residents appreciate the diversity of the community. Florence offers the
convenience and lifestyle available in a small western community, yet is only 45 minutes
away from the Phoenix and Tucson Metropolitan areas. Incorporated in 1908, Florence,
at an elevation of 1,493 feet, has been the county seat since its formation in 1875.
Because of the year-round sunshine and ideal climate, Florence is the perfect place for
the retired and is seeing solid growth. It is excellent for those seeking warm, clean air for
health purposes. Population is more than 25,000.
Ruggles, an Indian Agent, staked and platted the town in 1866. Sources cite different
origins for the town’s name, but all agree it was someone’s sister or daughter. By the
1920s, the area had become the agricultural center of the county.
Florence is home to both the Pinal County government complex and two Arizona State
Prison complexes. Agricultural products from the area include cotton, cattle, grains and
grapes.
As the fifth oldest town in the state, downtown Florence has been designated an official
“Historic District.” It is said Florence has more buildings listed on the National Register
than any other town in Arizona. Some of the notable historic sites are the first and
second county courthouses, both completely different in architectural style. The first was
built in 1877 and is open to the public as McFarland State Park. The second was built
in 1891 of American-Victorian architecture and is still in use today. The historic Clarke
House now houses the Florence newspaper.

Maricopa is 16 miles south of Interstate 10 in western Pinal County. Over the last
150 years, its location has changed three times. Its first site was Maricopa Wells, about
10 miles northwest, a trading center for stagecoaches passing through the Southwest.
The Civil War ended the mail lines and a new railroad a few miles south was the death
knell for Maricopa Wells. Maricopaville, 3.5 miles south, was born when a junction was
needed to connect the Southern Pacific Railroad linking Yuma and Tucson with a branch
line to Phoenix. When Tempe wanted to be on the railroad line in 1887, Maricopaville was
moved to Maricopa’s current location.
Maricopa Monitor
Maricopa is quickly growing as South Mountain residential developments brim over
into its rich agricultural valley. Although Maricopa’s businesses and industries have
traditionally been geared toward farming and ranching, its economic base has been
diversifying through companies such as Volkswagen and Nissan, both of which have
proving grounds in the area. Harrah’s Ak-Chin Casino also contributes to the economy.
With the addition of the I-10 Maricopa Rd. exit, housing developments, such as Rancho
El Dorado changed the face of Maricopa forever. The town was incorporated in 2003.
With families moving in from the suburbs of Phoenix, this rural area experienced positive
growth with new schools. The population has jumped to 45,000.

such as this might have received
only probation.
The case began four days into
my term serving as your County
Attorney, on Jan. 4, 2013, when
Pinal County Sheriff’s Deputies

neighbors near Saddlebrooke.
One of the neighbors was
the defendant Pamela Wil-

approached her home to protect
the peace of the community and
to ensure the neighbor dispute
did not escalate, he heard two
gunshots and saw a muzzle flash
of a gunshot from the property.
The defendant only stopped firing because the gun jammed.
In the end, the jury in this
case sent a message which is
that Pinal County cares about
the safety of our Sheriff’s deputies and police officers, who
protect our Pinal families. Arizona deserves the protection of
the law and law enforcement

If you believe

you’re right. If
you believe that
you’re entitled
to protect yourself when faced with imminent

right. But, if you believe that

another think coming! While we
