History Of Estrella Mountain

The Estrella Mountains were founded by the Akimel O’odham people, and currently the Estella Mountains soar over the villages that once settled them in the Gila River Indian Community. The land was claimed as the New Spain during the colonization of America.

 

Mexico eventually announced its liberty from Spain. The Estrella Mountains became part of Mexico. The United States obtained the Estrella Mountains from the Mexican people. It was part of the Gadsden purchase. The Butterfield Overland stage moved in and started moving people from California to the area. It was a popular trade route. Eventually, progress took over and the stage went away to make room for the railroad.

 

The last battle between native Americans, that of Pima Butte took place in 1857. The Akimel O’odham people were overtaken by the Apache, Mohave, and Yuma people. Afterwards a lot of gold seekers were searching for Montezuma’s treasure which is believed to still be buried in the Sierra Estrellas.

 

In 1985, Charles Keating of the renowned Lincoln Saving & Loan debacle purchased federally reserved land from the government, to create a master planned community inside the foothills of the Estrella Mountains. A year later, development started. In 1999, a Jack Nicklaus designed golf course was added to the community. Since that time shopping and schools came to Estrella. As Estrella Mountain continues to grow, the charm of it will never be lost.

The More You Know: Hydrate, Hydrate, Hydrate!

 

When the heat is on in Arizona, it’s important to stay hydrated when working or exercising outdoors. The best way to avoid dehydration, particularly during hot summer months, is to be sure you and your loved ones are drinking plenty of pure water on a daily basis, at least eight to 10 eight-ounce glasses. If you are exerting yourself or out in the heat, drink even more water.

 

In the good news department, you don’t need to rely solely on the water and fluids you drink. You can get some of your water intake from the foods you eat. Fruits and vegetables are particularly good for getting additional water since some, like cucumbers, melons, tomatoes, celery, and lettuce, are at least 90 percent water!

 

As summer temperatures approach, here are a number of tips to prevent dehydration:

 

• Don’t wait till you’re thirsty to drink. By the time you feel thirsty, you’re already slightly dehydrated. Sip water steadily throughout the day and drink more fluids than usual when the weather is hot, especially if you’re active.

 

• Flavor your water. If plain water tastes boring to you, you can add flavor with fresh fruits or a splash of fruit juice. You can also consume clear broths, ice pops or sports drinks (especially if you’re doing intense exercise). Just make sure to limit caffeine and alcohol.

 

• Stay inside when it gets too hot. On very hot days, stay indoors in an air-conditioned environment. Avoid sun exposure, especially between 10:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m., when the rays are strongest. Plan outdoor activities in the early morning or evening.

 

• Dress for the weather. Wear light, loose-fitting clothing that lets your skin breathe. Dark colors absorb heat, so stick with lighter shades. Wear a wide-brimmed hat in the sun to keep your head cool and use plenty of sunscreen to avoid sunburn, which can increase your skin temperature and make it harder to stay cool.
