ABOUT TUCSON
Tucson, known as the “Old Pueblo,” offers visitors a
striking blend of contrasts shaped by a distinctive
heritage and accessible natural wonders. Regional
architecture, cuisine, music and art reflect the
colorful and varied past of our Native American,
Spanish, Mexican and Western pioneer ancestors.
The area surrounding Sentinel Peak just west of
downtown has been inhabited for an estimated 3,000
years and is considered the city’s birthplace.
Irishman Hugh O’Connor, who served in the Spanish army, founded present-day Tucson August 20,
1775. He established the legendary walled Presidio
de San Agustin which is commemorated in the
historic downtown El Presidio neighborhood.
Residents actively support local arts – the city’s
own fine symphony, ballet, opera, theater and avantgarde art scene have made Tucson a thriving
cultural center.
