Discover Tucson

Paleo-Indians were in southern Arizona about 12,000 years ago, and digs near the Santa Cruz River have found a village dating to 2100 BC. Farmers irrigated the floodplain from about 1200 BC, and the Hohokam lived there from AD 600 to 1450. The Jesuit Eusebio Francisco Kino first visited the valley in 1692 and founded Mission San Xavier del Bac about 7 miles upstream in 1700. On August 20, 1775, Hugo O'Conor, regarded as the city's founder, authorized the Presidio San Agustin del Tucson near the present Pima County Courthouse. Apache attacks on the presidio were frequent. The name is a Spanish form of the O'odham word for the place, and after 1821 Tucson belonged to the Mexican state of Sonora.

More about Tucson

Philip St. George Cooke and the Mormon Battalion briefly occupied the town in the Mexican-American War, and Cooke's wagon road through it became a Gold Rush route to California. Tucson stayed in Mexico after the war and came to the United States through the Gadsden Purchase of June 8, 1854, though the Army did not take control until March 1856. It became a station on the San Antonio-San Diego Mail Line in 1857 and a division headquarters of the Butterfield Overland Mail in 1858. In March 1861 conventions in the region, including at Tucson, voted to secede and join the Confederacy. After the skirmish at Picacho Pass on April 15, 1862, Union forces took Tucson on May 20, 1862, and it became part of the new Arizona Territory. Tucson was incorporated in 1877, the oldest incorporated city in Arizona. Sources Wikipedia: Tucson, Arizona
