Naco is a small Mexican town and municipality located in the northeastern part of the state of Sonora, on the border with the United States. It is directly across from the unincorporated town of Naco, Arizona. The name of Naco comes from the Opata language and means nopal cactus. Naco saw fighting during the Mexican Revolution and during a rebellion led by General Jos� Gonzalo Escobar in 1929. During the second conflict, an American pilot by the name of Patrick Murphy volunteered to bomb the federal forces for the rebels, but mistakenly he bombed Naco, Arizona instead.
Today, Naco has been strongly affected by the smuggling of drugs, illegal people, and weapons across the international border.

When you turn off of the I-10 onto Arizona 80, you will pass through Tombstone, Arizona; on your way to Bisbee. Tombstone is also worth a visit.
