Why did the Hohokam leave?
Several reasons have been advanced: Hostile Indians drove them away. The water table became too high without pumps, so the salts and minerals were not able to leach through the soil, preventing the crops from growing. There was an extensive drought. Without dams, the water could not be stored. The land became overpopulated and could not sustain the number of people who moved here. Explorers and Apaches Next came the missionaries and explorers, including Coronado, Father Kino, and Marcos de Niza, came to Arizona (though not present day Mesa) during the 1500’s and 1600’s. A less known explorer was Esteban (also called Estevan or Estevanico), a Black slave, who searched for the city of gold. Apache Indians, east of our area, drove the Spanish away in the 1700’s. U.S. Army troops fought the Apaches in the late 1800’s, opening the way for white settlement. Kit Carson and other explorers came through the Salt River Valley during the early part of the 19th century. Mormon Settlement Lehi Mean
