North Main Avenue (Tucson, Arizona)
Originating during Mexico's Spanish period, Calle Real "Royal Road" connected Spain's southern and northern territories. The route linked the southern cities of Mexico City, Guadalajara, Mazatlan, and Culiacan, Magdalena to Spain's northern outposts, including Tucson. Over time, the Calle Real extended to Yuma, San Diego, and San Francisco. Even after Mexican independence in 1821, Calle Real remained the primary travel route linking Mexico and the southwestern United States. In 1872, the street name was changed to Main Avenue.
