Maricopa Wells is a former place (locale) situated in Pinal County, Arizona.

It developed as a trading center and stopping place for travelers in the mid to late 19th century.

They traded with the nearby Maricopa and Pima natives for crops produced in their fields, which they irrigated by the Gila River.

At one time this was the primary military telegraph post for all of Arizona Territory.

Maricopaville was planned as a terminus before Tempe won a spot on the line that was constructed.
