Welcome to Sam Hughes

Established in 1877, Tucson is the oldest incorporated city in Arizona. The major transportation and trade hub in the state and the most populous until 1920, this city is rich with history. Fort Lowell, a military stronghold during the Apache Wars in the late 1800s was later reinvented as an artist’s colony in the 1930s and 40s, El Presidio and the Barrios in the downtown area were home to the first Tucsonan’s simple adobe homes, the University of Arizona was the first University in the Arizona Territory and the famously charming and lovingly maintained Sam Hughes Neighborhood was one of the first subdivisions in the city.

Designated as a national historic district in 1994, the Sam Hughes neighborhood is a square-mile, centrally located and bound by Speedway Boulevard, Broadway Boulevard, Campbell Avenue and Country Club Road. According to the Sam Hughes Neighborhood Association the neighborhood is named for the school located in the middle of the original quadrant and the school was named for Sam Hughes.
