In 1984, the White Mountain communities of Pinetop and Lakeside in east-central Arizona undertook a ¿marriage of convenience¿ and incorporated. Historically, they could not be more different.

In 1984, the White Mountain communities of Pinetop and Lakeside in east-central Arizona undertook a ¿marriage of convenience¿ and incorporated. Historically, they could not be more different. Like rival sisters, one was pious and churchgoing while the other was wayward and fun loving. But in the best of American traditions, they formed a town government to provide services for their combined residents. Pinetop-Lakeside¿s history is as rough-and-tumble as that of any Western town. Settlement began with the establishment of Fort Apache in 1871. The cavalry post provided employment for freighters and skilled laborers, as well as a market for beef, hay, and grain. The 1880s brought colonists from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. They built the dams and lakes that in the next century would become the basis for an economy based on outdoor recreational tourism. Today, Pinetop-Lakeside is a thriving community of approximately 4,500 residents. One thing that hasn¿t changed since the time of the pioneers is the natural beauty that defines life on the mountain.
