Fifty Stars of The Western Union

The Copper State

Arizona is a state in the Southwestern United States. Its capital and largest city is Phoenix. With an area of 295,254 km², it is the sixth largest US state, and the sixteenth most populous with 6,392,017 inhabitants in 2010. Bordered by California, Nevada, Utah, New Mexico and the States Mexicans from Baja California and Sonora to the south, Arizona is one of the Four Corners states (the Four Corners is a region of the Southwestern United States consisting of the southwestern corner of Colorado, southeastern corner of Utah, northeastern corner of Arizona, and northwestern corner of New Mexico). It is also part of the Sun Belt which is experiencing strong population growth due to heliotropism. Located south of the Rocky Mountains, Arizona is one of the mountain states of US. Crossed by the Colorado River, the state includes spectacular geological formations, such as the Grand Canyon, Meteor Crater and Monument Valley.

The territory is under Spanish sovereignty from the 16th century, as a region of New Spain. Mexico took possession of it in 1821 upon its independence: it became part of Alta California. In 1848, at the end of the Mexican-American war, the United States annexed Arizona, then enlarged its territory in 1853 during the Gadsden Purchase (1853 –1854). It joined the Union belatedly, on February 14, 1912, and became its 48th state. It is divided into fifteen counties, and nearly a quarter of its territory is made up of twenty-one Indian reservation; this is an area of land held and governed by a federally recognized Native American tribal nation whose government is accountable to the U.S. Bureau of Indian Affairs and not to the state government in which it is located. The Navajo and other Apache peoples are the majority.

The state experienced significant and sustained population growth during the 20th century: it had only 750,000 inhabitants in 1950 and saw its population increase sevenfold in sixty years. The city of Tucson, located about a hundred kilometers from the Mexican border, has thus welcomed significant migratory flows. In 2010, the state of Arizona had the fourth highest proportion of Hispanics after New Mexico (46.30%), Texas (37.62%) and California (37.62%) as well as the third largest number of Native Americans.

Much of the state is made up of desert landscapes, in which many Western movies were filmed. Arizona is a touristic state, including three national parks (Grand Canyon, Saguaro, Petrified Forest) and several American national monuments (Sunset Crater Volcano,
