History:
​
Living up to its slogan, Gila County has always been a wild country. It was once home to 1,000's of different Native American settlments. The area was literally surrounded by the Sinagua to the north, the Anasazi to the northeast, the Mogollon to the southeast, the Salado to the south, and the Hohokam to the southwest. This adventure will guide you through their ancient lives. Welcome to Arizona's Wild History.
