Maricopa’s original developer joined city leaders and local historians this morning to dedicate the city’s new history walk at Heritage Park in his honor.
The walk, which features plaques showcasing different episodes in Maricopa’s colorful history, runs along the edge of the park now named for Mike Ingram, founder of Scottsdale-based El Dorado Holdings that developed Rancho El Dorado and other large Maricopa subdivisions.
Ingram donated $100,000 to the city with much of it going into improvements at Mike Ingram Heritage Park.
Many didn’t expect Maricopa to be as it is today, said City Councilmember Vincent Manfredi, who introduced Ingram this morning.
