The Buffalo Soldiers of the Arizona Territory in Mesa, AZ, were a group of African-American cavalrymen who served in the United States Army from 1866 to 1944. The group was named after the Native American tribes they fought against during the Indian Wars of the late 19th century. The Buffalo Soldiers of the Arizona Territory were initially assigned to protect settlers and government personnel within the Arizona Territory, but they eventually became part of the US Army's larger mission to control the growing number of hostile Native American groups in the area.

The Buffalo Soldiers of the Arizona Territory were predominantly African-American and formed part of the segregated 10th Cavalry Regiment of the US Army. These brave men fought in some of the most difficult and dangerous battles of the Indian Wars, including the Apache Wars and the Navajo Wars. They were also involved in the building of forts, roads, and other infrastructure in the Arizona Territory.

The Buffalo Soldiers of the Arizona Territory were respected and admired by the Native Americans they fought against, who referred to them as the "Black Horse Cavalry". This was a testament to their bravery and skill in battle, with members of the group having earned numerous commendations and awards, including the Medal of Honor.

The Buffalo Soldiers of the Arizona Territory left a lasting legacy in the state and are still remembered today. Numerous monuments, historical markers, and reenactments can be found throughout the state honoring their courage and dedication to the US Army.
