Where Spanish Explorers once searched for gold and gems
Rio Rico means “Rich River” in Spanish and the area is indeed rich with history and archeological wonders. Long before Spaniards walked these trails, Rio Rico was home to native Americans, including a pre-historic race known as ‘The Forgotten Ones.” Their ancient 18-acre village was discovered in 1954 and partially rebuilt by the Upper Pima Indians. Some ancient Spanish and Jesuit Missions still dot the landscape and if you follow Sonoita Creek the streambed through Rio Rico you’ll discover petroglyphs dating to the early Hohokam Period.
Once part of a vast land grant from the King of Spain, Rio Rico encompasses Native American, Spanish, Mexican and American Old West cultures making it the vibrant multi-cultural community we know today.
