The Town of Kearny was founded by the Kennecott Mining Company. The mine's operation had expanded so far that it was about to envelop the communities of Sonora, Ray, and Barcelona. Many of the residents of these small towns were miners with the company. To help the residents who were about to be displaced, Kennecott developed a planned community for the residents. The first of the new residence moved into town in 1954. The view of the Pinal Mountain range is what the residence of Kearny gets to see daily. Kearny is located in eastern Pinal County it is also one of the county’s most unique towns. The Town is a planned community with most streets elegantly lined with trees. Many homes have similar, yet inviting and unique construction. The town has many amenities, including a grocery store, hardware store, auto parts store, ATM machines, medical facilities and pharmacy. Kearny is equal distance to Phoenix and Tucson, approximately an hour and a half either way. Kearny is also only 45 min away from Globe AZ which is Gila Counties largest city. Along with the friendly ambiance, Kearny is nestled at the base of the Pinal Mountain Range. The location provides prime opportunities for some of the best outdoor recreation in the state. Kearny has developed an ATV, hiking, horseback and picnic trail to help facilitate safe outdoor recreation, also known as eco-tourism.
