Where Can I Get Free Climate Data For Specific U.S. Cities For The Past 50 Years In CSV Format?

I would like to get the historical temperatures for U.S. cities, specifically the southwest, over the past fifty years in a CSV. I tried NOAA, and selected the date range, but only got weather data for 2023. Other sites I found either charge for this data or do not make it available to download. I thought climate data was readily available for public use, but it is proving surprisingly difficult to find. Are there publicly available resources or APIs available?
