Arizona was the 48th state to be admitted to the United States in 1912 and the final contiguous state to become part of the union, after being ceded by Mexico in the aftermath of the Mexican-American War. Arizona was originally the territory of several Native American nations (a handful of which still reside there today) before being colonized by Spain and later becoming a part of Mexico following their war for independence. This storied history informs the diverse culture and population of Arizona.
