Naco, Arizona

Naco is a census-designated place (CDP) located in Cochise County, Arizona, United States.

[3] The 1942 Lookout Air Raids, when a Japanese floatplane pilot made two unsuccessful attempts to start forest fires in rural Oregon, and the 1944-45 unmanned Fu-Go Fire balloon attacks, also by the Japanese, are the only other cases of the Continental United States enduring aerial bombing by a foreign power.

The background to the bombing of Naco started in early 1929, when José Gonzalo Escobar led a rebellion against the government of Emilio Portes Gil.

Murphy decided to help the rebels by offering to build homemade bombs and drop them on federal positions.

[6][7] According to the United States Census Bureau, the CDP has a total area of 3.4 square miles (8.8 km2), all land.

The ownership changed hands three more times when Joseph Lewis, a real estate developer from Phoenix, in June 2018.

Excavations from this archeological site in the 1950s revealed mammoth bones with embedded Clovis points, providing evidence of the hunting activities of Paleo-Indians some 13,000 years ago.

Subsequent to Pancho Villa's raid on Columbus, New Mexico, in 1916, Fort Naco was a staging area for American troops protecting the border.
