Tanque Verde is a suburbancensus-designated place (CDP) in Pima County, Arizona, United States, northeast of Tucson. The population was 16,195 at the 2000 census.

History[edit]

Tanque Verde began as a small community, remote from Tucson, and settled by ranchers arriving to the American West around the 1860s. The name of the area, which means 'green tank,' is a reference to the algae in a large and prominent stock water tank in the area in the late 19th century.

The Tanque Verde Valley was used by the Apache, a Native American tribe throughout the 19th century. Soldiers from Fort Lowell operated by the U.S. Army in the late 19th century also frequented the Tanque Verde Valley.

In 1886, the residents of the Tanque Verde valley established the Tanque Verde School District as the first significant political entity of the community.

The army closed Fort Lowell in 1891, and when some Hispanic immigrants from Baja California and Sonora saw the fort's buildings standing empty, they moved into the abandoned adobes. Soon they began farming the rich floodplain northeast of the fort, where Pantano Wash feeds into Tanque Verde Creek to form the Rillito (Little River), and by the turn of the century the community they came to call El Fuerte was thriving.[3] Upstream from El Fuerte, in the canyons and nooks (rincons) of the front range of the Santa Catalina Mountains and the Rincon range—the area they came to call Tanque Verde—Hispanic families with names like Escalante, Estrada, Andrade, Vindiola, Lopez, Riesgo, Benitez, Telles, Martinez, and Gallegos began establishing homes and ranches.[4] Initially the largely self-sufficient community of homesteads thrived, but over time many of the smaller ranches were swallowed up by larger ones or sold to speculators. According to Frank Escalante, a descendant of Tanque Verde homesteaders, some non-Hispanic Americans robbed some of these families of their land titles and ranches by fraud or force. Some Hispanics who became Mexican Americans after the Gadsden Purchase had limited understanding of English and a naivete regarding American property law even four decades after the transition, and made easy marks for the unscrupulous. The infamous Arizona Rangers sometimes enforced interlopers' property claims.[5] The First World War brought a rise in the market for cotton and the value of farmland, and still more of the original homesteaders felt pressured to sell. Ultimately the growth of Tucson and the demand for land for housing priced most of the remaining pioneers off their ranches.[6]

In 1989, Tanque Verde was the main site for the Nickelodeon program Hey Dude.

By 2005, more than 1,600 students were enrolled in the school district's three schools, serving grades K-9. The Tanque Verde School District continues to register among the highest standardized test scores in Arizona.

As the Tucson area increased population, the Tanque Verde Valley did as well, but at a much slower rate. Much of the land in Tanque Verde is in covenants dictating land-use policies. These covenants strongly control growth and are considered by residents to ensure land preservation. By the 1960s, Tanque Verde had become a true suburb of Tucson.

Tanque Verde has become an affluent community, with a significant equestrian presence. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, Tanque Verde has the highest median household incomes of any city or community in southern Arizona, and one of the highest in Arizona.

Body positivity is about celebrating all shapes and sizes — curvy, plus-size, thin, athletic, dad bods, muffin tops. So what better way to celebrate your own body than by daring to bare and getting naked in Arizona. Don’t know where to start? We can’t help you unzip your dress, but we can tell you about the 10 best places to get naked in Arizona with a reduced risk or getting arrested. Here they are, in alphabetical order:

AZ Lagoon del Sol Bed and Breakfast is a part of the Clothing Optional Home Network, which is a group of homes offering a private, clothing optional bed-and-breakfast-style experience. This very private, elegant home nestled in a quiet neighborhood north of Phoenix and has a sophisticated, yet comfortable feel. The home is completely private from the street so you’ll feel comfortable getting naked in Arizona. This is a great option if you want to dip your toe into nudism without a crowd watching.

Bartlett Lake is a desert oasis in the northern part of the Tonto National Forest that is home to a “nude beach” that many free spirits like to enjoy au naturel, so be comforted knowing you will not be the only nude sunbather or swimmer. One downside: If you’re worried about “shrinkage,” the water can be very cold, even in the summer. That said, it is very refreshing once you adjust, especially when the summer sun is beaming down.

This mineral-water clothing-optional spa is located 45 miles west of Phoenix and features bathing pools and tubs filled with natural water pumped straight from a subterranean spring. Private areas allow you to soak yourself away from the potentially prying eyes of other naked folks for only $15 an hour per person. If you’re a more social exhibitionistic, you can drop trou in the communal area for $10 an hour or $30 for the whole day.

If your desire to go naked included some skinny-dipping, you might want to try out Lake Pleasant. Nude use of the lake is commonplace almost anywhere on the northern end of the lake or up river and away from “Humbug Cove,” aka aka “party cove,” where the majority of officer scrutiny occurs.

Mira Vista Resort in Tucson is one of the world’s most unique nudist resorts, with buildings dating to 1852. It has quickly become a favorite vacation destination for naturists.
