Fact text
- Mesa is the most populous city in the entire U.S. that isn't a county seat, half a million people and no courthouse crown!
- The ancient Hohokam people built canals here up to 90 feet wide and 16 miles long, so sophisticated that many are still in use today.
- As recently as 1960, half of all Mesa residents still made their living from farming, quite a plot twist for one of America's biggest cities.
