Rincon Heights Historic District in Tucson won its National Historic District listing in February 2013. This historic place is roughly bounded by 6th Street, Broadway Boulevard, Campbell Avenue, and Fremont Avenue, and you can feel the edges of a neighborhood that was honored with an official listing as a National Historic District in February 2013. The designation came after a civic effort: the City funded the preparation of the nomination with a grant it obtained from the State Historic Preservation Office.
The research and paperwork were prepared by Dr. Brooks Jeffery from The University of Arizona and his students, who submitted an application for its official designation as a historic district. Stand here and imagine the care it takes to turn local memory into formal recognition — neighbors, city planners, university scholars working together to tell a community's story. In a corner of the city map you can also find a reference to the Rattlesnake Bridge, a nearby point of interest mentioned with this place.
This is a spot where municipal support, academic study, and neighborhood identity met to create a listed historic district. Notice the streets that define this place: 6th Street, Broadway Boulevard, Campbell Avenue, and Fremont Avenue.
