| Tucson is known as the "Old Pueblo". A colorful history suggests that the area has been inhabited for over 8,000 years. A walled Presidio was created August 20, 1775, near the center of downtown, by Irishman, Hugh O'Connor, and a Colonel in the Spanish Army. The original wall no longer stands, but is commemorated in the historic El Presidio neighborhood. Tucson, a first class desert city with an estimated population of 491,750, was noted as one of the fastest growing cities in the nation at the turn of the century. A unique mixture of Native Indian, Spanish, Mexican and Western Pioneer culture makes up a very fascinating blend. |
