Arizona Facts
ARIZONA NAME ORIGIN : Arizona derived its name from "Aleh-zon", two Indian words meaning "Little Spring." The land southern Arizona was acquired in 1848 when Mexico relinquished it after the war with the United States. The balance of the state was acquired in 1853 through the Gadsen Purchase. On February 1912, when President William Howard Taft signed an act passed in 1911, Arizona became the Nation's 48th state. Thus Arizona is sometimes referred to as the "Nation's Valentine" or the "Valentine State."STATE BIRD : The cactus wren, one of the largest members of wren family, builds its nest in the thorny cactus throughout the desert lands. The cactus wren is woody-brown in color with a speckled breast.
STATE FLOWER : The blossom of the saguaro, the largest cactus in the United States, is the state flower. This cactus may grow to a height of 50 feet and as old as 200 years.
STATE GEM: Turquoise is a blue green waxy-surfaced stone used for centuries in Indian jewelry.
STATE TREE : The Pale Verde which means "green stick" is of the most beautiful trees of the desert with springtime yellow blossoms.
STATE SEAL: The state's original major enterprises are symbolized on Arizona's official seal - reclamation, farming, cattle raising and mining. The center depicts mountains with a rising sun, a reservoir with a dam, grazing cattle, orchards, fields, a quartz mill and a miner with a pick and shovel.
STATE SONG : Clifford and music by Maurice Blumenthal. Arizona March Song, words by Margaret Rowe
