History:
The purpose for creating the town of Eagar was to combine all the
settlements in the area and place it under the Union’s name. The community
began in 1887 with John Thomas Eagar, his brothers Joel and William and
the Robertson family. The name Eagarville was chosen to honor the three
brothers who helped found the community. It wasn’t until the establishment
of the post office, that the town of was created in 1888. By 1892, the
name was shorted to Eagar.
Eagar was incorporated in 1948. Today, the town continues the strong
tradition of ranching and trading. Tourism is a popular industry because
of the town’s location, along the northeast slopes of the White Mountains.
Nestled at the base of the White Mountains in northeastern
Arizona, the Town of Eagar serves as a central point to the region's
recreational opportunities. Whether it's the winter skiing, fall colors,
warm spring weather, or cool summer nights, Eagar is a natural choice for
tourists. A low crime rate, small town atmosphere, easy access to major
transportation hubs, and an affordable quality of life make Eagar a
popular choice for small business expansion or relocation.

Eagar, located on the northeast slopes of the White Mountains, is set
against a national forest of ponderosa pines. Its history dates to the late
1800s when John Thomas Eager, his brothers Joel and William, and the
Robertson family homesteaded in Round Valley.
In 1888, the town, 221 miles northeast of Phoenix at elevation of 7,000
feet, was established under the name Union to unify the small settlements in
the area. The name was changed to Eagar in 1892, the Post Office was
established in 1888, and the town incorporated in 1948. Eagar is on U.S.
180, the direct link between I-40 and I-10, at its junction with U.S. 60.
Eagar's southern border is the 2,112,985-acre Apache-Sitegreaves National
Forest which contains four rivers, 24 lakes and reservoirs, 680 miles of
trout streams, as well as primitive areas for pack trips and hiking, and
