The Tucson MSA forms part of the larger Tucson-Nogales combined statistical area (CSA). Both Tucson and Phoenix anchor the Arizona Sun Corridor. The city is 108 miles (174 km) southeast of Phoenix and 60 mi (97 km) north of the U.S.–Mexico border. Tucson is the 34th largest city and the 53rd largest metropolitan area in the United States (2014).

Major incorporated suburbs of Tucson include Oro Valley and Marana northwest of the city, Sahuarita south of the city, and South Tucson in an enclave south of downtown. Communities in the vicinity of Tucson (some within or overlapping the city limits) include Casas Adobes, Catalina Foothills, Flowing Wells, Midvale Park, Tanque Verde, Tortolita, and Vail. Towns outside the Tucson metro area include Benson to the southeast, Catalina and Oracle to the north, and Green Valley to the south.

Tucson was founded as a military fort by the Spanish when Hugo O'Conor authorized the construction of Presidio San Agustín del Tucsón in 1775. It was included in the state of Sonora after Mexico gained independence from the Spanish Empire in 1821. In 1853, the United States acquired a 29,670 square miles (76,840 km2) region of present-day southern Arizona and southwestern New Mexico from Mexico under the Gadsden Purchase. Tucson served as the capital of the Arizona Territory from 1867 to 1877. Tucson was Arizona's largest city by population during the territorial period and early statehood, until it was surpassed by Phoenix by 1920. Nevertheless, population growth remained strong during the late 20th century. In 2017, Tucson was the first American city to be designated a "City of Gastronomy" by UNESCO.

Kuerle City (Korla), the prefecture-level administrative capital of Bayingoleng Mongolia Autonomous Prefecture in Xinjiang, is located in central Xinjiang, the southern foot of Tianshan Mountain, the northeast edge of Tarim Basin, the Tianshan tributary in the north and the Taklimakan Desert, the second largest desert in the world in the south. It is the throat of the ancient Silk Road and one of the birthplaces of Western culture. It is not only an important transportation hub and material distribution center in southern and northern Xinjiang, but also an important political, economic and cultural center in the region. "Korla" means "overlooking" in Uyghur language, because it is rich in the world-famous "Korla fragrant pear", also known as "Pear City". Korla is the first "national civilized city" in the five northwestern provinces (evaluated on January 23, 2009). In February 2015, it was confirmed by the Central Commission of Civilization that the "National Civilization City" would continue to be retained.
