The history of Nogales dates back to the Spanish Conquest and subsequent to the establishment of the Presidio of Tubac was occupied bv crown soldiers to protect adjacent mining operations.
Thereafter, for 126 years, Nogales was Spanish territory until 1864 when by the Gadsden Purchase the U. S. Government acquired from Mexico what is now Santa Cruz County. Shortly after this came the establishment of Camp Moore (1856 and Fort Mason (1865).
In 1880, Nogales was a small trading post consisting of a few tumble-down shacks en-
closed by a wall of occatillas (a desert shrub) plastered with mud. In 1893 the town was incorporated and called Nogales, which is the Spanish word for “walnuts,” because in the very early days northbound travelers from Mexico used to make camp under the shade of los nogales —the trees to which the city still owes much of its beauty. In 1919 it was incorporated as a city and divided into wards.
In addition to being the seat of government of Santa Cruz County, Nogales is headquarters of the Arizona Customs District. It is an immigration post, and agricultural inspection station and a (J. S.
