Arizona Catalina is in Pinal County
midway between Phoenix and Tucson. Colonel Levi 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
1920's, the area had become the agricultural center of the county.
The Catalina 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 the visitors and residents appreciate the diversity of the
community. Catalina 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, Catalina, at an elevation
of 1,493 feet, has been the county seat since its formation in 1875.

Catalina, Arizona
As the fifth oldest town in the state, downtown Catalina has been
designated an official "Historic District". It is said Catalina 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 fully restored Brunenkant Building, built in 1889,
serves today as the Greater Catalina Chamber of Commerce. The Pinal County
Visitors Center, formerly located in the historic Suter House, is now
located at 330 E. Butte.
Pinal Pioneer Parkway, a portion of U.S. 79 south of Catalina, contains a
unique natural garden. Virtually all species of Arizona desert flora are
displayed and identified along the main route and easily accessible by
side roads. The Tom Mix Monument, commemorating where the popular movie
cowboy died in 1940 when his Cord automobile crashed, is located on the
parkway.
Since 1932, Catalina has been the home of the world's oldest Junior Rodeo
in the United States. It is held every Thanksgiving weekend.
