Tucson lays claim to being one of the
oldest settlements in the United States, ranking as to age next after
San Augustine, Florida, and Santa Fe, New Mexico. Its history can be
traced back to 1649, when a military station was established by the
Spaniards to protect the Mission of San Xavier.
The merits of this claim of long descent
have been called in question, but the fact [remains that it was settled
at a very earlier day, and its natural advantages are such that it was
always an important trading point.
Before the advent of the railroad,
Tucson was almost as unknown and as remote from civilization as the
interior of Africa. It was indeed a frontier town in all that those
words import.
But Tucson now is as different from
Tucson in its frontier stage as the day is from night, or the gorgeous
and bespangled butterfly from the chrysalis or grub. That period of her
history which might be termed the dark ages has passed.
