Nogales
In another article published in 1936 in the Arizona Republic mentions the town of Nogales, located on the southern border of the United States and Mexico. The word nogales means walnut in Spanish and was originally settled by a man who wanted to remain alone. However, additional people settled near a walnut grove, which gave the town its name. One of the towns original business owners, Jacob Isaacson, who owned a store and assisted the growth of the small community became its namesake. An adjacent city, known as Line City along with Isaactown were asked to select a permanent name for the area and since the rail station was called Nogales the people petitioned the post office to change the name from Isaactown to Nogales.
