Nogales is in Southern Arizona. It is in Santa Cruz County. The town is located on Interstate 19, right on the Mexican border. You can get to Nogales from Phoenix by taking Interstate 10 south out of town and into Tucson.

Historic Nogales Main Street HISTORY

Thousands of years ago, before European explorers ever dreamed of sailing across the Atlantic, Nogales was part of a migratory path and trade route called Spain's El Camino Real (The King's Highway). Much later, regiments of armor-clad Conquistadors forayed north along this very valley in quest of precious metals and gems. Today missions built by the Spanish colonials still dot the valley's landscape.

Back in those days, ranchers in the area were besieged by Apaches raiding their herds of well-fed cattle. One of our local ranchers, Pete Kitchen used to say, "Tucson, Tubac, Tumacacori, to hell," when returning to Nogales from a cattle drive from Tucson. Today, you'll find Nogales a far more hospitable place. Where Pet's ranch once was, is now Pete Kitchen's Outpost, a restaurant. It's actually one of the original 1853 structures of the old Kitchen homestead.

Fray Marcos de Niza arrives in the Ambos Nogales territory in 1539.


Life on the border would not be complete without the influence of Pancho Villa, whose army occupied Nogales, Mexico in 1914 during the Mexican Revolution. The U.S. military's garrison in Nogales swelled to over 10,000 mostly black soldiers of the highly decorated 25th Regiment mostly detached from Washington, D.C. The military buildup and related business growth attracted many businesses to Nogales, some of which remain today.

Old City Hall was built in 1914, a year before Arizona became a state. It was used as the Office of the Mayor, the Sheriff's office with two holding cells, and the Fire Department. Now, it houses the Pimeria Alta Historical Society and has fascinating displays of how things used to be.


An early street scene in downtown Nogales during the 1920s. Architectural buffs will have a heyday in Nogales. Of course, there's the predominant Sonoran Style. But we also have fine examples of Queen Anne Cottage, Second Empire, Spanish Colonial, Pueblo Revival, Mediterranean Style, and Bungalow Style all within the downtown area.

Be sure to take a stroll back in time along historic Morley Avenue. Many of the stores, like Capin & Company and Brackers Department Store, established in the early 1900's, are run by descendents of pioneer merchants, and are still thriving.
