Tucson

Tucson’s history is long and varied.

For over 12,000 years American Indians lived along the Santa Crus River Valley. The Hohokam are the ancestors of the present-day Tohono O'odham people. You can see a pit house at the El Presidio del Tucson and petroglyphs located in the Picacho Mountains north of Tucson. In additional, the Arizona State Museum on the University of Arizona campus houses a world-renowned collection of Native American Pottery. Worth a drive, are two museums outside of Tucson: The Amerind Museum (west of Tucson, near Dragoon, AZ) and the Huhugam Heritage Center (south of Phoenix, near the Gila River Casino).

The Spanish arrived with the Coronado Expedition in 1536-1542. Father Eusebio Francisco Kino arrived for the first time in 1687, finding Pima Indians living in a village near present day A-Mountain. The village’s name is T'Shuksohn – likely the origin of the name Tucson. Father Kino established the San Xavier del Bac (ca. 1692) and Tumacacori (ca. 1691) Missions south of Tucson. The present-day churches were constructed in the late 1700’s to early 1800’s.

In 1775 El Presidio San Agustin del Tucson was officially founded as a walled fort by Hugo O’Conor. A reconstructed version of this fort is open to visitors in downtown Tucson.

In 1854, the United States purchased southern Arizona and New Mexico for $10 million. Thus, Tucson became part of the United States. President Lincoln established the Arizona Territory in 1867. Camp Lowell was erected in 1866 near downtown Tucson. Later, in 1873, the fort was relocated to present day Fort Lowell Park which today houses a museum documenting fort life.

In 1869 Tucson was named the capital of the Arizona Territory. In 1880, the railroad came to Tucson. Arizona, the 48th state, was admitted to the union on February 14, 1912.

In 1885 the University of Arizona was founded. The U of A grew from humble beginnings with a single building (“Old Main”) on the outskirts of town. Classes were held for the first time in 1887 with only 32 students. Today, the U of A is a large research university with over 45,000 students. The U of A is world renowned for dendrochronology (study of tree rings), southwestern archaeology, astronomy, and optics.

In 1925, Tucson acquired 1,280 acres for Davis-Monthan (DM) Airport -- named in honor of two Tucsonan WWI pilots. In 1940 the Army took over the airport and renamed it Davis-Monthan Army Air Field. Bomber pilots were trained at DM during WWII. Following the war, the “Bone Yard” (an aircraft preservation facility) was established. Over the years, DM played many important roles. One of the most notable was the support of the intercontinental nuclear Titan II Missile. During the period 1963-1987, DM supported 18 missile complexes surrounding Tucson. You can find out more about the history of DM at the Pima Air Museum and the Titan II Museum.

Tucson’s most popular attraction, the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum, opened on Labor Day, 1952. The museum grew from a few depression era Civil Conservation buildings. Today, on almost 100 acres, there are 12 exhibit areas. They display the varied flora and fauna of the desert, mountains, waterways, and underground caves.

Tucson is surrounded by three mountain ranges or “sky islands”: The Catalinas (north), Rincons (east), and Santa Ritas (south). Only Mt. Lemmon, in the Catalinas, is accessible by car. During the hot summer, Tucsonans love to drive to the village of Summerhaven and enjoy a slice of pie in the cool pines of Mt. Lemmon.
