From the 1600's, Spain laid claim to all of the land in present day Arizona. But because of the great distances and the hostilities of the Indian tribes, Spanish rule extended effectively only to the southern portion of this area, and sometimes not even that much. Tucson was the only permanent town established, because of the military garrison there. | From the 1600's, Spain laid claim to all of the land in present day Arizona.
