Fort Lowell

 

Contact Michael

Situated some miles east of the city center beside the Rillito River and Pantano Wash, the thriving floodplain of Fort Lowell made an perfect dwelling place for Hohokam Indians from about AD 300 to 1250. The US Army constructed a fort here in 1873 after the city begged the military to move its disorderly soldiers away from their downtown lodgings. But the fort was short-lived. In 1891, after the conclusion of the Indian wars, the army deserted it. Mexican farming families took over the buildings and constructed more adobes of their own, creating a new village called El Fuerte. Mormon farmers came along too. These days the adobes sitting irregularly amidst the mesquite trees preserve a rural Mexican feel. Thirty contributing properties divide the 150 acres with new luxury houses.
