Celebrating Arizona’s 100th Birthday

Arizona became a state on February 14, 1912. It was the last of the 48 contiguous states to be admitted to the union.

Arizona adopted the current version of the state flag in 1917. 

Blue and gold are the colors of Arizona. Red and gold are the colors carried by Coronado’s Expedition of 1540 to the Seven Cities of Cibola.  The blue is “liberty blue” identical to the color in the United States flag field of stars. There are thirteen rays of the sun representing the original thirteen colonies. The large copper star identifies Arizona as the largest producer of copper in the United States.

 Arizona history is rich in legends of America’s Old West. It was here that the great Indian chiefs Geronimo and Cochise led their people against the frontiersmen. Tombstone, Ariz., was the site of the West’s most famous shoot-out—the gunfight at the O.K. Corral.
