 Sonoita Valley History
Sonoita Valley, near Patagonia in Southern Arizona, is unique in that is has an extensive wooded area in a normally arid region.
The first land owner in the Sonoita Valley was Don Leon Herreras, a ranchero of Tubac who in the year 1821 was looking for new grazing lands for his herds of stock.
A presidio was established in Tubac, the oldest Spanish settlement in Arizona, in 1752, and it may be assumed that the rancheros with their families fled there at times for protection from the raiding Apaches or to Calabasas six miles to the west where a garrison of American troopers was stationed later.
