Introduction to the Tucson Area
Tucson is a Native American word meaning "water at black mountain." The city, founded in 1775, is Arizona's oldest city, and has a kaleidoscope of cultures and a unique blend of heritages. Tucson is a modern city with high-tech industries and world-class cultural events, yet it retains the charm of its desert frontier roots. Historic adobe homes are preserved around downtown high-rises. Resorts and golf courses are nestled in the foothills where coyotes still roam. Citrus trees and cacti grow along side each other, and cowboys and business professionals rub shoulders with each other every day.
The Beauty of Tucson
Tucson is located in the stunning Sonoran desert valley, surrounded by ruggedly handsome mountain ranges, gently rolling hills and clear blue skies. At an elevation of 2,584 feet, Tucson is cradled by mountains on all sides, with the Santa Catalina Mountains, rising 9,100 feet on the North.
