Kearny Golf Course - Kearny Kearny, Arizona

kearny's roots begin in the early 1800s, as legendary Arizona explorer Father Kino sought out to convert the Apache Indian communities in the area to Christianity. In the late 1800s, Gen. Stephen W. Kearny set up camp near the Gila River, at the base of the Pinal Mountains. Kearny called the area hostile and uninhabitable. Fifty years later, that "uninhabitable area" became something quite the opposite

The view of the Pinal Mountain range Kearny residents are fortunate to see everyday.

The Town of Kearny was founded by the Kennecott Mining Company. The mine's operation had expanded so far, it was about to envelop the communities of Sonora, Ray, and Barcelona. Many of the residents of these small towns were miners with the company. To help the residents who were about to be displaced, Kennecott developed a planned community for the residents. The first of the new Kearnians moved into town in 1954.
