The village of Tubac is located approximately 45 miles south of Tucson, Arizona, and 20 miles north of Nogales along Interstate 19 (exits 40 & 34) and is home to an ever-increasing artisan and business community.

Tubac was established in 1752 by Father Kino and is the second oldest European settlement west of the Mississippi. It has been home to seven flags and five cultures. According to archeologists and anthropologists, people of many cultures have dwelt along the Santa Cruz River for perhaps 10,000 years. The Hohokam were probably here between 300 and 1400-1500 A.D. The Ootam (Pima and Papagos) arrived sometime in the 1500's. The Spanish arrived with Father Kino in 1691.

The Mexicans took over with their independence in 1821, and only since 1853 has Tubac been part of the United States, thanks to the Gadsden Purchase. At the time of the Gadsden Purchase, Tubac was a ghost town of adobe ruins, but soon exploration and the discovery of ancient mines and minerals brought prospectors, mining companies, storekeepers, travelers and journalists to the boomtown of Tubac.
