Tucson Official Destination Guide Spring/Summer 2009
Welcome to Tucson, Arizona—one of the longest continuously
inhabited areas in the Northern Hemisphere. People
have lived here for thousands of years, although the
city was officially founded in 1775. Since its early days as
a dusty frontier town, Tucson has grown into a metropolis
of nearly one million. Tucson is nestled in a valley, surrounded by saguaro
forests and five mountain ranges, with clear Sonoran
Desert skies nearly every day. There is something special
about Tucson’s blend of Southwestern history, culture,
and diverse scenic beauty that makes it the best place to
experience the “Real. Natural. Arizona.”
