History
The first white settler in Sedona, John James Thompson, settled at Indian Gardens in 1876.[3] Thompson called the place Indian Gardens because natives grew corn and squash on the site.[4]
In 1965, residents living along the east side of Oak Creek started the Indian Gardens Improvement Association to deal with local issues, most specifically the rebuilding of a washed out bridge which cut off access to property owners.[5]
