A Brief Look Back

Tucson's roots run deep. Founded in 1775 as a Spanish military fort, Tucson is one of the oldest continually inhabited areas in North America. Its name is derived from the O'odham word “Cuk Ṣon,” meaning “at the base of the black hill,” referring to Sentinel Peak. With a blend of Native American, Spanish, Mexican, and Anglo-American influences, Tucson has grown into a culturally rich city that still honors its past. Historic neighborhoods like Barrio Viejo and Mission San Xavier del Bac stand as beautiful reminders of Tucson’s heritage.
