Description: Quaint and quirky the village of Arivaca is the hub of a fairly large area that includes the ghost towns of Ruby and Cerro Colorado. Ranchers, miners, retirees and artists inhabit this stretch with a population of about 700 people. Located 60 miles south of Tucson, Arizona (south on I-19 to Arivaca Rd. west 23 miles to the village), and 50 miles north of Nogales.
Early settlers are believed to be Pima or Tohono O'odham tribes. The first European rancher in the area was Antonio de Rivera in the 1740's, but the area was abandoned after the Pima Indian Revolt of 1751. The Sonora Exploring and Mining Company worked silver mines in the area until 1861. Later, several ranchers came into the area but continuing challenges with the Apaches plagued residents. In 1870 development resumed.
Where possible, ChildcareCenter provides inspection reports as a service to families. This information is deemed reliable, but is not guaranteed. We encourage families to contact the daycare provider directly with any questions or concerns, as the provider may have already addressed some or all issues. Reports can also be verified with your local daycare licensing office.
