Our Story
Tucson was founded in 2017 with a vision to become the go-to digital hub for all things Tucson. We recognized a gap in the online landscape—a lack of comprehensive, up-to-date, and unbiased information specifically tailored to our vibrant city. Born out of this need, Tucson emerged as a news website dedicated to shedding light on the unique culture, events, and stories that make Tucson, Arizona, extraordinary.
