Oro Valley, Administrative division in Pima County, Arizona, US

Oro Valley is a town in Pima County, Arizona, situated at the base of Pusch Ridge with residential neighborhoods and commercial zones spread throughout. The community spans a mix of single-family homes, business districts, and open spaces typical of Sonoran Desert suburbs.

The area was first inhabited by the Hohokam people around 450 AD before becoming cattle ranching land when German immigrant George Pusch arrived. His settlement marked a turning point that shaped the land's future development.

The annual arts festival draws residents and visitors to celebrate local creativity and community spirit. These gatherings shape how people connect and spend time together throughout the year.

The town sits in a semi-arid region with mild winters and very hot summers, making visits most comfortable from October through April. Walking around works best in early morning or evening hours when temperatures are more bearable.

The area hosts a cluster of technology companies that position it as a major tech center for Southern Arizona. This economic focus emerged fairly recently, transforming what was historically ranch country into a hub for innovation.
