Mayor Regina Romero and  City Manager Tim Thomure

 and hosted by the Presidio Museum

 While the Tucson basin has been inhabited for thousands of years, the formal inception date of the City of Tucson is August 20th, 1775.  Today, we use this date to celebrate our rich TucSonorense culture and its many inhabitants.  Did you know the name Tucson originates from the native O’odham word “s -cuk ṣon” which means “at the base of the black hill”?
