This Hispanic Heritage Month, we honor the vast influence Hispanic people and culture have had on our home here in Arizona. Our state has its very roots in Hispanic heritage, having been a part of Mexico as recently as the 1840s, but it’s more than our history: it’s very much a part of our present.
We celebrate not only how Hispanic culture has shaped us historically, but also the vibrant communities that help make Pima County so unique and beautiful. You can learn more about this month and about Arizona Hispanic history at the Arizona Historical Society’s website:
