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.

Shizong County, a county under the jurisdiction of Qujing City, is a multi-ethnic agricultural county in the mountainous area. It got its name because the tribal leader Shizong led the army to live in Nirongdian (now Xihua Village outside Shizong County) in the Tang Dynasty. Shizong County, located in the southeast of Yunnan Province, is one of the old revolutionary base counties in Yunnan Province. It is bordered by Luoping County in the east, Xilin County in the southeast, Qiubei County in the south, Luxi County in the southwest and Luliang County in the north. As of 2012, Shizong County has jurisdiction over 5 towns and 3 townships, with 99 village committees and 10 communities; the total population is 421335 and there are 35 ethnic minorities living, mainly Yi, Zhuang, Miao, Hui, Yao and so on. On April 30, 2019, the people's Government of Yunnan Province decided that Shizong County should withdraw from the sequence of poor counties.
