Once a part of the Mexican state of Sonora, Tucson was first established as a Spanish military base. After Mexico sold this plot of land to the United States in the mid-19th Century, it became known as Tucson, Arizona, and was the largest city in the state until Phoenix surpassed it.
The largest employer, and perhaps the driving force between the major economic development and high-rises in the city are thanks to the University of Arizona. This educational institution is the largest employer in the city, employing more persons than the local city government itself.
Apart from the education industry, Tucson is also home to Union Pacific rail lines- one of the biggest commercial rail lines in the country. It’s lines lead directly to the ports of Los Angeles and connect to much of the Southeastern United States.
Another notable industry in Tucson is its focus on designing and developing high-quality optics devices such as telescopes and mirrors. There are over 150 small companies focused on building small (and large) parts that are then shipped all over the world for use in telescopes, microscopes, glasses, and more.
