Povijest[uredi - уреди | uredi kôd]

Područje na kojem se danas nalazi Tucson već su oko 7. tisućljeća prije Krista nastanjivali Paleo indijanci, a kasnije su ih zamijenile grupe koje su arheolozi utvrdili kao Hohokam. Kao takav, Tucson je najduže vremena konstantno naseljena lokacija u SAD-u. Misionar Družbe Isusove Eusebio Kino posjetio je područje 1692., a 1700. je osnovao misiju San Xavier del Bac. 1776. Španjolci su osnovali utvrdu i otad se grad počeo zvati Tucson, a postao je i dijelom Meksika nakon što je on 1821. izborio nezavisnost od Španjolske. 1853. Tucson je postao dio SAD-a, a od kolovoza 1861. do sredine sljedeće godine bio je glavni grad saveznog teritorija Arizone. Do 1863. Tucson je kao i cijela Arizona bio dio teritorija Novog Meksika, a od 1867. do 1889. bio je glavni grad teritorija Arizone. Sveučilište University of Arizona u Tucsonu je osnovano 1885.
