Pueblo Grande Ruins
The area known as the Pueblo Grande Ruin was settled around 450 BC. by the prehistoric Hohokams. For unknown reasons the site was abandoned by 1450 AD. This are some of the ruins of the Hohokam structures which were uncovered and which are situated in the Pueblo Grande Ruin Museum.

When the pioneers of European descent settled in Phoenix, the area was mainly desert. Settlers such Jack Swilling inspired by the ancient canals of the Hohokam, began to dig ditches to irrigate their farms. The Joint Head Dam was built in 1884 by the Salt River in the area where "Swillings Ditch" was located. It served the Crosscut and Grand Canals. ==Joint Head Dam
