List of historic properties in Peoria, Arizona

This is a list, which includes a photographic gallery, of some of the remaining historic properties in the town of Peoria, Arizona.

Included are images of the ruins of a Hohokam village, early inhabitants of what is now Peoria's Lake Pleasant Regional Park, located on top of Indian Mesa.

Also posted are the images of some of the historic structures of Weedville, a small community founded in 1911, in an area which at the time was outside the city limits of Peoria.

Thus, the local ranchers and farmers were able to ship via rail and sell their crops and cattle to other towns in the area.

The society provided assistance for the city's first Historic Resource Survey in 1997, which covered the area of the original town plat.

Many owners can not afford to repair some of these properties and the city officials have insisted that rejuvenation and enforcement efforts are separate.

Residents believe that the city is ignoring the historical preservation of these properties while pressing them to demolish older homes in need of repairs.
