Old Tucson once had a mayor. It is part of the long-forgotten history of the movie location and Wild West theme park.
"Really, Nick C. Hall is the reason we have Old Tucson Studios," said Tucson Historian David Leighton.Plenty of credit still needs to go to the late Bob Shelton, who turned Old Tucson into the Wild West theme park.According to Leighton's research, Hall came to Tucson in 1934 as part of a group that bought the Santa Rita Hotel in downtown.
Columbia Pictures then used local labor to construct the movie town of Tucson circa 1861. Some of the adobe buildings still stand today."The cast and crew was so appreciative of his work, they actually voted him the mayor of Old Tucson," Leighton said."Nick C. Hall is the only mayor I know ever elected in Old Tucson."
