The Mesa Arizona Temple (formerly the Arizona Temple; nicknamed the Lamanite Temple)^[2] is the seventh operating temple of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The intent to build the temple was announced on October 1, 1919, by church president Heber J. Grant, during the church's general conference. Located in the city of Mesa, Arizona, as of April 2024, it is the first of the church's seven temples built or planned in the state, with three of those in Maricopa County.^[3] A groundbreaking ceremony was held on April 25, 1922, and the dedication, conducted by Grant, was on October 23, 1927.
