About Tucson: Your Digital Window to the Heart of Arizona
Our Story
Tucson was founded in 2017 with a vision to become the go-to digital hub for all things Tucson. We were born out of a deep-rooted passion for our vibrant city and a realization that the internet, while vast, lacked a centralized, reliable source of information specifically tailored to Tucson's unique culture, history, and communities.
Our journey began as a small team of local journalists and tech enthusiasts who shared a common goal: to bridge the information gap between Tucson residents and the world at large. We aimed to create a platform that would not only report news but also celebrate the city's diverse neighborhoods, rich history, and thriving arts scene.
