Tumacacori is the site of [[Mission San José de Tumacácori]], a Franciscan mission that was built in the late 18th century. It takes its name from an earlier mission site founded by Father [[Eusebio Kino]] in 1691, which is on the east side of the [[Santa Cruz River (Arizona)|Santa Cruz River]], south of the national park. This Kino-period mission was founded at an extant native [[O'odham]] or Sobaipuri settlement and represents the first mission in southern Arizona, but not the first mission in Arizona. The remains of the native settlement are still extant and have been investigated and reported on by archaeologist Deni Seymour.
The later Franciscan mission, which is now a ruin preserved as [[Tumacácori National Historical Park]], was never rebuilt after being abandoned after repeated [[Apache]] raids in the 19th century that killed farmers and ranchers in the area and put a stop to the growth of the area's economy. Nearby [[Tubac, Arizona|Tubac]] was [[Siege of Tubac|besieged]] in 1861.
