| Tucson Arizona
Tucson Arizona has been continuously settled for over
200 years. It celebrates a diversity of cultures, architecture, and peoples. Yet,
it is one of the "Mega-Trend" cities of the 21st Century: the Optics Valley,
premier health services center for the Southwest, the astronomy center of the
world, home of a premier research institution - University of Arizona, and a
tourism destination.
Tucson, too SAHN or TOO sahn, is one of the oldest towns in the United States.
Tucson was originally an Indian village called Stook-zone, meaning water at the
foot of black mountain. Hugo O'Conor established the Tucson Presidio in 1775.
August 20th, 1775 is considered Tucson's birthday. Spanish settlers arrived in the
area in 1776. Tucson officially became part of the United States with the Gadsden
Purchase of 1854. Tucson served as capital of the Arizona Territory from 1867 to
1877.
Tucson boasts the best of both worlds...the progress and innovation of a
metropolitan community and the friendly, caring atmosphere of a small town.
Tucson's rich cultural heritage centers around a unique blend of Native American,
Spanish, Mexican and Anglo-American influences. Blessed with the natural beauty of
the Sonoran Desert and an unsurpassed climate of 360 sunny days a year, Tucsonans
embrace a rare lifestyle and are committed to preserving that quality of life.
