Kearny was a planned community built in 1958 to house workers from the nearby Kennecott Copper Company open-pit mine and reduction plant. It was incorporated in 1959.

Today, most employment in Kearny is in the commercial and services sector or is related to copper mining.

Ray Mine, one of Arizona's largest open-pit copper mining operations, is 11 miles north of Kearny. A viewpoint is open during daylight hours. Hills and desert vegetation of the Pinal County area provide varied opportunities for the rockhound, photographer, historian, bird watcher, and botanist, as well as deer and quail hunting. Along portions of the Gila River, activities include fishing, walking trails and picnic tables with barbecue grills.
