Sacaton, AZ

I walked 5.23 miles today.

On the mapped route to D.C., that brings us past Sacaton.  Sacaton is one and a quarter miles west of the 1858-1861 location of the Socatoon Station of the Butterfield Overland Mail. The station was named for the nearby Maricopa village of Sacaton four miles down the Gila from the station. It was an adobe building established in 1858 on the Little Gila river also known as Capron's Rancho and was also a trading post. (Wikipedia)

Sacaton is also the home of the C. H. Cook Memorial Church that was built in 1918 and added to the National Register of historic places in 1975.  (Staff (2010-07-09). "National Register Information System". National Register of Historic Places. National Park Service)
