After World War II; Tucson experienced burgeoning growth. People were drawn here by the mild winters. By 1950; Tucson�s population reached 120;000; and it doubled to 220;000 by 1960. In 1952; the world-famous Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum was founded. Four years later; the Tucson Air National Guard Base was activated. During the 1960s; the Old Tucson Studios theme park; El Con Mall; the Tucson International Airport; the University of Arizona College of Medicine; Reid Park Zoo; and Pima Community College were established. In the 1970s; the Tucson Community Center and the Pima Air Space Museum were established. Around 1984; Channel 12 began broadcasting. In the 1990s; Biosphere II was built; and in 2005; the Jewish History Museum and the Southern Arizona Transportation Museum were dedicated. Tucson has stood the test of time; surviving the difficult periods and thriving during the good times.
