Tucson is located in Southern Arizona. Tucson, pronounced "too SAHN" is one of the oldest towns in the United States. It is surrounded by four mountain ranges: the Santa Catalinas to the north, the Rincons to the east, the Santa Ritas to the south and the Tucsons to the west. Tucson was orginally an Indian village called Stook-zone, meaning water at the foot of black mountain. Blessed with the natural beauty of the Sonoran Desert and an unsurpassed climate of 360 sunny days a year, Tucsonans embrace a rare lifestyle and are committed to preserving that quality of life. | |||||
