Arizona - "The Grand Canyon State"
Union Member since February 14, 1912 (48th state)
The Arizona Territory and southwest Cowboy city: Tombstone was home to some of the most feared outlaws and respected lawmen. During its heyday as a tough mining town, the New York Times called Tombstone's Birdcage Theater, "the wildest, roughest, wickedest honky-tonk between Basin Street and the Barbary Coast."
Arizona offers a little bit of everything, from the architecture of Native Americans to modern designs of today. Arizona is a crossroad of culture and heritage where many different traditions have met and combined. The Hispanic culture exists today because Spain did not want to eradicate the Indian people and maintained a philosophy that allowed for intermarriage and the continuation of the Spanish and Indian cultures.
Immerse yourself in the Old West by visiting Tombstone, Bisbee and Douglas. Central Arizona has its own stories to tell in Wickenburg, Jerome and Prescott. The magic of Scottsdale is set in the heart of the lush Sonoran Desert. Deep blue skies lure you out of doors to explore desert trails, rivers and mountains. And championship golf courses with layouts that wind around mammoth boulders and towering saguaros. An "old west" style downtown tempts you with world-class shopping, fine art galleries, renowned restaurants and high-energy nightlife.
