Happy Birthday Tucson
August 20, 2007 | By Kelley Koehler | Filed Under About Tucson
Happy Birthday to the Old Pueblo! Tucson turns 232 years old today, counting back to when the Spanish established their presidio on August 20, 1775, and the town formally became known as Tucson. Before that, Father Kino was out and about in the late 1600’s, founding the Mission San Xavier del Bac – the beautiful White Dove of the Desert that can still be toured today – and before that, the Hohokam were enjoying the area.
Turns out, there a bunch of events planned, check the link at the start of this post. Tortilla making, walking tours, classic movies at the Fox theater, could be fun!
