Heroica Nogales

Heroica Nogales has served as a border crossing in northern Sonora since the late 19th century. It meets Nogales, Arizona, across an international line that runs through the urban area, making customs, commerce and daily cross-border movement central to its identity. The city lies in the upper basin of the Santa Cruz River, amid the dry, hilly country of the Sonoran Desert. Its honorary title recalls the 1918 Battle of Ambos Nogales, a conflict fought on the border during the Mexican Revolution era. Streets near the ports of entry reveal a working frontier city rather than a resort setting. Continue through nearby webcams to explore different parts of Heroica Nogales and Sonora.
