[[South Tucson]] is the name of an independent, incorporated town of {{convert|1|sqmi|km2|abbr=on}} south of downtown. It is surrounded by the City of Tucson and was incorporated in 1936 and reincorporated in 1940.

The population is about 83% Mexican-American and 10% Native American, as residents self-identify in the census. South Tucson is widely known for its many Mexican restaurants and architectural styles. Bright murals have been painted on some walls, but city policy discourages this and many have been painted over.<ref>{{usurped|1=[https://web.archive.org/web/20091104015232/http://www.arizonaguide.com/places-to-visit/tucson-southern-arizona/south-tucson Arizonaguide.com]}}, Retrieved December 14, 2010</ref><ref>[http://img.groundspeak.com/waymarking/display/e3756840-2734-4364-aade-05974e8c5729.JPG IMG.groundspeak.com] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110928021202/http://img.groundspeak.com/waymarking/display/e3756840-2734-4364-aade-05974e8c5729.JPG |date=September 28, 2011 }}, Retrieved December 14, 2010</ref><ref>[http://cms3.tucsonaz.gov/sotucson CMS3.tucsonaz.gov] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101206051411/http://cms3.tucsonaz.gov/sotucson |date=December 6, 2010 }}, Retrieved December 14, 2010</ref>
