Eagar (Navajo: Shádiʼááhjí Tsé Noodǫ́ǫ́z) is a town in Apache County, Arizona, United States.
[4] Brothers William Walter, John Thomas, and Joel Sixtus settled the area under the direction of The Mormon prophet Brigham Young.
However, that name was also changed by the postmaster general to just "Eagar" sometime before December 1892 when the school district was renamed.
[5] A battle took place near what is now the town cemetery in which 9 members of the Snyder gang were killed.
This region experiences warm (but not hot) and dry summers, with no average monthly temperatures above 71.6 °F.
[11] Two sites are listed on the National Register of Historic Places, including, Colter Ranch, once one of the largest cattle operations in Northeastern Arizona, and Eagar Elementary School, built after the original frame school house burned in 1930.
[12] The town is home to the first enclosed high school football field, the Round Valley Ensphere.
In addition, White Mountain Academy, a K–12 charter school, is located in Eagar.
