📜 A Little Nogales History
Nogales has long been a gateway between nations. Originally a trading post in the 1800s, it became a key port of entry with the arrival of the railroad in the 1880s. Over the years, it has grown into a lively city known for its binational spirit and deep cultural roots. The name “Nogales” comes from the Spanish word for walnut trees, which once covered the area.
