Description
Tucson is a cosmopolitan city with a unique blend of Native American, Spanish, Mexican, African American, Asian and Anglo heritages. Ancient Hohokam Indians developed complex irrigation systems in the area for growing crops. The name "Tucson" is derived from the Indian word, "Chuk-son," meaning village of the dark spring at the foot of the mountains. The city was established in 1775 by Spanish soldiers as a walled presidio - the Presidio of San Augustin de Tucson. Tucson became a part of Mexico in 1821 when Mexico won its independence from Spain, and in 1854 became a part of the United States as part of the Gadsden Purchase. Following a turbulent territorial period racked by conflict with the Apache Indians, Arizona became the 48th state in 1912. Today, Tucson is one of the fastest growing urban areas in the U.S. The metropolitan area population of 804,200 people is expected to reach one million shortly after the turn of the century. With this anticipated growth, the community is retaining the rich charm which earned it the nickname, "The Old Pueblo."
Tucson, offering so much contrast, is located in a desert valley, surrounded by mountain ranges. At an elevation of 2,584 feet, Tucson is cradled by the Santa Catalina Mountains rising 9,100 feet on the north, the Rincon Mountains to the east, the Tucson Mountains to the west, and the Santa Rita and Sierrita Mountains to the south.
The desert contains much natural growth, unlike a Sahara-like desert. Green trees such as Palo Verde, Mesquite and Cottonwood grow in abundance. There are also many varieties of cacti in colorful bloom from April until late May. In Tucson?s residential areas native desert landscaping and many other types of shrubs and flowers grow easily.
