State Introduction

Hi my name is Benjamin and this is the Arizona State

Report. I knew nothing until I did research about Arizona.

Arizona is in the South West U.S.A. The nickname for

Arizona is The Grand Canyon State. Arizona got that

nickname because of the Beautiful Canyons.

State History

Arizona, the Grand Canyon state, achieved statehood

on February 14, 1912, the last of the 48 coterminous

United States to be admitted to the union. Originally part of

New Mexico, the land was put in to the United States in

1848, and became a separate territory in 1863. Arizona is

the 48th state and last of the contiguous states to be

admitted to the Union, achieving statehood on February

14, 1912.

Closing

What I love about Arizona is the Grand Canyons and

the massive cities there. I would love to go visit and then

see all the things there, but I would not go to college in

Arizona. Three facts I've found is that ​Arizona is a 

right-to-work state just like most of the states in the us, 

Arizona leads the nation in copper production, and ​the

amount of copper on the roof of the Capitol building is

equivalent to 4,800,000 pennies.
