Kearny, Arizona, is a small town nestled in Pinal County within the scenic Gila River Valley. Established in the 1950s by the Kennecott Mining Company to support the nearby Ray Mine, this community has a rich history steeped in mining. Named after General Stephen Watts Kearny, who explored the area in the mid-19th century, the town was planned as an integrated community to accommodate workers from the nearby towns of Ray, Sonora, and Barcelona, which were being consumed by the expanding open-pit copper mine. Today, Kearny boasts a population of around 2,327, with a diverse demographic that includes a significant Hispanic community. The town offers a rural lifestyle with amenities like a nine-hole golf course, Kearny Lake for fishing and camping, and several parks. Economically, it remains tied to mining, particularly the ASARCO-operated Ray mine and Hayden Smelter. Despite its small size, Kearny is known for its close-knit community atmosphere, featuring local festivals, a community center, and various recreational facilities, making it an appealing place for those who appreciate a tranquil, small-town life surrounded by desert landscapes.
