Wrapped in a bed of history that is as old as the West itself, Trails Head is the place from which Juan Bautista de Anza and his party entered the Anza Trail on their way to discover and found San Francisco, California. This was in 1774.

Today we honor this man, his achievement and the sacrifices of so many, by rendering homage to their heritage not only through the location of the community but also by our attention to the archaeological detail of the earliest settlements in Tubac. Renowned architect, Kevin Howard, haspainstakinglycapturedtheflavorof the 1700’s in the Village of Tubac through the careful design of his homes at Trails Head.

FROM THE LOW

$400s


As you enter your back yard in Santiago, you are quick to notice that the air has cooled considerably. You pause to witness a hawk resting at the top of a large mesquite tree within the forest of mesquites surrounding your home. You open the rear patio gate and within a few paces find yourself on the historic Juan Bautista de Anza National Historic Trail. Once there you marvel at the sound of the multitude of birds living within the stands of the world’s largest cottonwood willow forest. Their serenade, harmonized to thatofthegentlyflowingwatersofthe Santa Cruz River lying in the valley below, tells you... This is Santiago!View the Floor PlansYour Dorn Home at Santiago will be constructed on a site carved out of a mature mesquite bosque. While the home site is located in one of Southern Arizona’s most beautiful settings, it is only the prelude to the symphony of beauty awaiting you in the rear patio.

Jesuit missionary, Father Francisco Eusebio Kino entered the Santa Cruz Valley in 1691, converting the natives (PimaIndians),buildingmissionsandestablishing ranches and farms. History first mentions Tubac in 1726, when Father Agustin de Campos baptized children here. Tubac is a Pima Papago name and has been in use for over280 years.

In 1751, after 50 years of forced labor in mines and on ranches, the Pima Indians rebelled, Luis Oacpicagugua, a Pima Leader, promised his followers wealth and possessions belonging to the Europeans. Spanish settlements were reduced to ashes: miners, priests and farmers were killed. It took four months to quash the rebellion. Finally, Pima warriors were cornered in the Santa Catalina Mountains, just north of Tucson and were defeated.

Jesuit missionary, Father Francisco Eusebio Kino entered the Santa Cruz Valley in 1691, converting the natives (PimaIndians),buildingmissionsandestablishing ranches and farms. History first mentions Tubac in 1726, when Father Agustin de Campos baptized children here. Tubac is a Pima Papago name and has been in use for over 280 years.

In 1751, after 50 years of forced labor in mines and on ranches, the Pima Indians rebelled, Luis Oacpicagugua, a Pima Leader, promised his followers wealth and possessions belonging to the Europeans. Spanish settlements were reduced to ashes: miners, priests and farmers were killed. It took four months to quash the rebellion. Finally, Pima warriors were cornered in the Santa Catalina Mountains, just north of Tucson and were defeated.

In 1752, due to these repeated Indian uprisings, Tubac became a Presidio, or Fort, to protect the northern frontier of Spain’s New world colonies. A 50-man garrison was established. Soon women and children arrived in Tubac, becoming the first European Settlement in Arizona.

For the next 24 years, the soldiers at the Presidio would fight another fierce

tribe, the Apaches. In 1760, Captain Juan Bautista de Anza arrived to command the Presidio de San Ignacio de Tubac. During his tenure in Tubac (1760-1776),AnzabuiltthechapelofSanta Gertrudis, the foundations of which lie beneath St. Ann’s church. On October 23, 1775, he and priest explorer, Fray Francisco Garces, along with approximately 300 colonists, left from Tubac and traveled the Gila Trail to Yuma. From there they set out to the Pacific Coast and traveled north where they founded the colony of San Francisco.

The very next year, in 1776, the Presidio was moved to Tucson. Tubac was left defenseless against the Apache attacks until another garrison of soldiers arrived in 1787. This brought relative peace to the area, but not for long.

Independence from Spain in 1821 brought Tubac under Mexican rule. TheunitedStates-MexicoWar(1846-1848)hadlittleeffectonTubacuntilthe Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo. Land north of the Gila River was ceded to the United States forming the New Mexico Territory. This did not include Tubac. Gold rush, forty-niners passing Tubac enroute to California enticed away residents.

A ghost town when the United States took possession after Gadsden Purchase of 1853, Tubac returned to life in 1856. Charles Poston and others

established the Sonora Exploring and Mining Company in the old presidio ruins. Soon the population topped 1000 with new businesses, the Butterfield Overland Express and The Weekly Arizonian newspaper, which attracted the elite to Tubac.
