Marana

Few communities in southern Arizona have a history as closely tied to irrigation farming along the Santa Cruz River as Marana. The town lies in the Sonoran Desert, where the Tortolita Mountains rise nearby and saguaro cacti shape much of the surrounding terrain. Long before modern development, the Santa Cruz valley supported Hohokam farming communities; Marana’s identity still reflects that agricultural foundation. Incorporated in 1977, it has grown into a Tucson-area town with desert trails and open land close at hand.
