The Town of Sahuarita is located south of Tucson and north of the community of Green Valley along Interstate 19 in the Santa Cruz Valley. Sahuarita was the idea of developer Bob Sharpe who bought most of the land in the area prior to the incorporation of the town in 1994. Today, Sahuarita is one of the fastest growing communities in the State. The town encompasses a 30 square mile area that includes pecan orchards, numerous housing developments, and a few commercial areas providing groceries, fuel, and other shopping opportunities.
A primitive Hohokam tribe found this beautiful, peaceful, and fertile valley and settled here. Over the years the area became primarily a mining and ranching community. Sahuarita is surrounded by frontier outposts, old mining areas and early Spanish Missions. The community of Tubac is south of Sahuarita and Green Valley is now an artist colony. However, it is the oldest Spanish settlement in the southwest. The Spanish built missions in the 1700's in the area; San Xavier del Bac (to the north on the Tohono O'Odham Indian Reservation) and the Tumacacori National Monument to south.
The largest subdivision in Sahuarita is Rancho Sahuarita. During the first home offering, the developer Bob Sharpe, offered every new home owner a small sailboat. Thus, the picture seen in many advertisements of the sailboat filled lake. The other major neighborhood in Sahuarita is Rancho Resort, which is a wonderful retirement community.
The Spanish Missions, along with Kitt Peak Observatory, Titan Missile Museum (Sahuarita) Tohono O'Odham reservation (and Casino), Rancho Sahuarita Lake and the nearby Mexico border offer residents and tourist plenty of recreational opportunities.
