The name Tucson originates via Spanish meaning “Black Base,” a reference to the mostly volcanic mountains on the west side of the city. The most notable of these mountains is Sentinel Peak, better known as “A Mountain” because it sports a large letter A in honor of the nearby University of Arizona, situated in west central Tucson. Tucson is sometimes referred to as “The Old Pueblo”.
