ABOUT TUCSON, ARIZONA*
Tucson lies in the borderland, a region that blends the cultures of the United
States and Mexico, and has a long history of settlement by ancient Native
American peoples, Spanish explorers and Anglo frontiers men. The weather is mild
nearly all the time, just right for all kinds of fun activities.
We think you'll agree, whether you're a new visitor or resident, just passing
through, or a longtime resident rediscovering hometown treasures, that Tucson is
Real. Natural. Arizona.
WEATHER AND CLIMATE* />
Tucson enjoys more sunshine than any other city in the United States - about 350
days each year. The days, with very few exceptions are warm and sunny. Our mild
temperatures during spring, fall and winter are legendary. Temperatures rise in
the summer, but low humidity keeps even the warmest days comfortable. Tucson's
surprisingly lush landscape is replenished by our two rainy seasons - in late
summer and early winter.
GEOGRAPHY*
The city of Tucson is 2,389 feet above sea level and covers nearly 500 square
miles. The landscape is varied and includes flowering desert, rolling hills,
winding dry riverbeds, rugged canyons and pine-topped peaks, all beneath a
clear, blue sky. Scenery on the 60-minute drive from downtown Tucson to the top
of our highest mountain peak, Mt. Lemmon, is like what you'd see on a trip from
Mexico to Canada.
Tucson's spectacular skyline features our five mountain
ranges.
-The sun rises over the Rincon Mountains on the east side
-Our legendary sunsets silhouette the Tucson Mountains on the west
-Flanking the north and northeast are the prominent Santa Catalina Mountains
-Rising to the south and southeast are the Santa Rita Mountains
-The Tortolita Mountains shelter the northwest
Sentinel Peak (alsSentinel Peak (also called "A" Mountain) is at the western fringe of the
downtown historic district. The base of this peak is the site of a major
archaeological dig for remnants of Tucson's earliest settlement, about 3,000
years ago. Arizona is in the Southwest area of the United States between
California and New Mexico. Tucson is an hour drive from the Mexico border and
less than two hours from Phoenix.
From Old Pueblo to Southwestern Metropolis*
Tucson was formally founded in 1775, about the time the nation's forefathers
were signing the Declaration of Independence. Locally, the city is still called
the Old Pueblo for the adobe fortress or "presidio" that marked its early
borders. Over the past three centuries, Tucson has grown from a Native American
farming community, to Spanish outpost, to dusty frontier town, to bustling
territorial days' railroad hub, to today's Southwestern metropolis of a million
people.
