The American Spirit of pioneering and rich legacy of human character and commitment are ever present in the small town charm of Mesquite. Founded in the late 1800’s, after previous attempts of settlement, a pioneering family devised an innovative irrigation system that supplied ample, life sustaining water to this rich valley. The rest is history.

Today, many sightseers and historians step back in time and walk the Old Spanish Trail that runs through the City. Many original buildings remain and are preserved by dedicated citizens who cherish the past, and keep it alive for generations to enjoy.

Over the past century new families, and their commitment to retaining the rich history of the area, have become the new patina that serves as a bright reflection of Mesquite’s future.
