    City Description

    Tanque Verde is a suburban census-designated place (CDP) in Pima County, Arizona, United States, northeast of Tucson. The population was 16,195 at the 2000 census. Tanque Verde began as a small community, remote from Tucson, and settled by ranchers arriving to the American West around the 1860s. The name of the area, which means "green tank," is a reference to the algae in a large and prominent stock water tank in the area in the late 1800s. The Tanque Verde Valley was utilized by the Apache, a Native American tribe throughout the 1800s. Soldiers from Fort Lowell operated by the U.S. Army in the late 1800s also frequented the Tanque Verde Valley. In 1886, the residents of the Tanque Verde valley established the Tanque Verde School District as the first significant political entity of the community. By 2005, more than 1,600 students were enrolled in the school district's three schools, serving grades K-9. The Tanque Verde School District continues to register among the highest standardized test scores in Arizona. As the Tucson area increased population, the Tanque Verde Valley did as well, but at a much slower rate. Much of the land in Tanque Verde is in covenants dictating land-use
