Tumamoc hosted human inhabitants more than 2,500 years ago when indigenous people developed a village at the top of the hill. Nearly 500 years later, the Hohokam settled the area and farmed the land at the base of the hill. The Tohono O'odham are the descendants of the people who used to reside on the hill.

Tumamoc eventually became the site of the longest continuously studied ecological plots in the world, with research on the saguaro cactus beginning in 1903 under the direction of the Carnegie Institution of Washington, D.C. The UA officially purchased Tumamoc in 1956, focusing on research, education and preservation.
