With the glamorous Grand Canyon as its backyard; Tusayan has a fascinating history. Dedicated just one year after the Grand Canyon National Park; the village of Tusayan had its humble beginnings in 1920 as a small sheep ranch operated by the Hull brothers. Tusayan quickly became a hub for the millions of travelers who made their way to the Grand Canyon each year. The two areas share a mutual school; a health care center; and other amenities. Other pioneers; such as R. P. Thurston; helped ensure the areas longevity with the addition of Highway 64 through the center of the village and the arrival of the Grand Canyon Airport; making Tusayan one of the most visited little towns in northern Arizona.
