Over the past three centuries, Tucson has grown from
Native American farming community, to Spanish outpost,
to dusty frontier town, to bustling, territorial days'
railroad hub, to the mature Southwestern metropolis
it is today.
The
city of Tucson is 2,389 feet above sea level and covers
nearly 500 square miles. The landscape mixes flowering
desert, rolling hills, winding dry riverbeds, rugged
canyons, and pine-topped peaks-all beneath an expansive
clear, blue sky.
