Sahuarita, Town in Pima County, Arizona, United States
Located 15 miles south of Tucson at an elevation of 824 meters, Sahuarita extends along both sides of Interstate 19 in the Santa Cruz Valley.
The area transitioned from Hohokam settlements through Spanish colonial period to its official establishment as a town in 1911, with incorporation following in 1994.
The name derives from the saguaro cacti that characterize the landscape, reflecting the natural elements of the Sonoran Desert environment.
The Titan Missile Museum, situated within the town limits, maintains regular operating hours and offers guided tours of the preserved Cold War missile complex.
Continental Farm, established in 1915, transformed from rubber production to cotton farming and now maintains extensive pecan orchards across the region.
