In 2018 on a hot August night, a couple friends were in idol conversation about what could be chosen as a downtown mascot. It wasn’t the first time the topic had been discussed. And then…What about a buzzard? How many places do you know of where buzzards roost in the downtown park? A buzzard it could be! Two days later while driving past Norris Pool and Supply guess what was sitting outside their front door for sale? A buzzard, of course! Over the next three or four months a small flock were purchased. You can spot them at a variety of places in the Downtown Arts and Culture District and also within the Neon Sign Park. Definition: In the United States, when someone refers to a buzzard it means a turkey vulture, a member of the New World vultures. Since the adoption of our downtown mascot and his naming by a vote of the City Historic Preservation Commission, there has been media awareness of the turkey vultures that roost at Boyce Thompson in Superior, the ones in Casa Grande and even an interest by Fox 10 news traveling to Casa Grande for a story.

Chairwoman Chase asked staff to look into that and Supervisor Rios recommended to staff that they relay the request to the State. U.S. 60 is a state highway and comes under the jurisdiction of the State of Arizona.

  • History of FPC the First 120 Years, by Bill Heinle, 2016 in 1896 the Community of Casa Grande Numbered About 350 Souls, and on May 3Rd of That Year It Was Official
    History of FPC The First 120 Years, by Bill Heinle, 2016 In 1896 the community of Casa Grande numbered about 350 souls, and on May 3rd of that year it was official. Casa Grande and Arizola had their very first Protestant church, named Endeavor Church. It was the eleventh Presbyterian congregation to be organized in the Arizona Territory. Dr. Augustus E. Marden, a well-known physician, and L. C. Butler, an agent for Southern Pacific Railroad, were the first two elders to be ordained. The Arizona Republican stated at the time, “We believe a large future opens before this church, which starts out well and comes at a time when interest of the community is aroused on matters of religion and the advantages of having a church organization in their midst.” Two years before, Rev. Henry A. Thompson, began laying the ground work for a new church. He had a circuit of preaching spots at Arizola, Casa Grande and Maricopa all along the Southern Pacific Railroad main line. He traveled from one point to the next via handcar. The first meetings of the church were held in the first adobe schoolhouse First Adobe Schoolhouse located near present day Elliott Park. The first church building was erected in 1899 at the southwest corner of Florence Street and 1st Avenue from an icehouse that was disassembled in Florence and reconstructed into a two-room church building dubbed “The Little White Church.” There was one good sized room where services were held and a smaller supply room. There was no electricity in the building until many years later.
