A Bit of History
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. It means water at the foot of black mountain. The Tucson Presidio was established in 1775.
August 20th, 1775 is recognized as 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.
What is now A Mountain was once a lookout post on the west side of the Presidio. In 1915 avid U of A Footballs fans whitewashed an “A” on the side of Sentinal Mountain. That originated the name A Mountain.
Tucson boasts the best of both worlds. Tucson provides a progress and innovation of a metropolitan community. It also has the atmosphere of a small town.Tucson’s heritage centers around a unique blend of Native American, Spanish, Mexican and Anglo-American influences.
