Among the first to live in Sedona were the several different Indian tribes. There are many native American Indian and Spanish remains in Sedona such as Tuzigoot Pueblo and Montezuma's Castle. Tuzigoot Pueblo is Apache for "crooked water". The people who lived there were the Sinagua people's which is Spanish for "without water". The Montezuma's Castle (near Sedona) is a settlement built into the cliffs above Beaver Creek. There are tours that explore these areas and view the remains.
Sedona was first discovered by European settlers in 1853. These Euporeans were in search of spices and found Sedona instead. It was claimed by J.J. Thompson. Other settlers joined him to raise horses and cattle. Later Sedona was used farming and orchards. The roads they built attracted more people to Sedona.
