About Arizona
Arizona became the 48th state of the Union in 1912, after being purchased nearly 60 years earlier. The state flower is the flower of the saguaro cactus, a choice that reflects the arid nature of the state’s climate. The temperatures in Arizona can reach over 100 degrees for weeks at a time, but due to the dryness of the air, this is not as painful as it sounds.
The top right corner of the state is a part of the Four Corners, the one place in the U.S. where four states, Colorado, Utah, New Mexico, and of course Arizona, touch. Like two of its neighbors, Arizona has a Native American Reserve where it connects with the other three states.
The first European to explore the area was Marcos de Niza, a Franciscan priest from Spain who was seeking the Seven Cities of Gold. He was followed by many other Spaniards, who mixed gold seeking with missionary work. Fort Tucson was established in 1775 by the Spanish to defend what frontier territory. In 1810, Arizona became part of Mexico, when Mexico proclaimed its independence from Spain. Following the Mexican War in 1848, most of Arizona was purchased from Mexico by the U.S., with the rest of it purchased in 1853.
Prior to the Great Depression, the main industries in Arizona were cotton production and copper mining. When these industries were hit hard in the 1930s, tourism began to pick up, and eventually became a mainstay of the state’s economy. Dude ranches drew large crowds of people wanting to experience life in the Old West. Resorts and upscale hotels also began to thrive.
The invention of the air conditioner changed the face of Arizona. There was a subsequent population boom, and in the 1960s, Arizona became a popular destination for retirees looking to leave harsh northeastern winters behind them. Air conditioning also increased the popularity of tourism to the area.
Phoenix is Arizona’s capital, with a population of nearly 4 million people. Its Navajo name is hoozdo, which means “the place is hot.” The city was originally a farming community founded by Jack Swilling in 1867, called Swillings Mill. Today, Phoenix is a thriving tourist destination and the 14th largest city in the U.S.
Tucson is a city 60 miles north of the Mexican border. The city is nestled at the feet of five mountain ranges. The Spanish name for the city means ‘Black Base,’ a reference to many volcanic mountains that surround it.
Arizona is home to the Grand Canyon, one of the seven wonders of the natural world. The Canyon is 277 miles long, ranges from a quarter of a mile to 18 miles wide, and in some places, the canyon is over a mile deep. In 1908, the U.S. Government declared the Grand Canyon a national treasure, and in 1919, the area surrounding the canyon was declared a national park. Over the years, legislators have expanded the size of the park. The landmark is a colorful reminder of the natural forces that created it.
