Geschiedenis
De geschiedenis van Arizona is rijk aan inheemse Amerikaanse cultuur, met stammen zoals de Navajo en Hopi die hier al eeuwenlang wonen. De staat werd in 1912 de 48e staat van de Verenigde Staten, maar de geschiedenis omvat ook Spaanse verkenning en Mexicaans bestuur.
De ontdekking van goud en zilver in de 19e eeuw leidde tot een bevolkingsgroei, en vandaag de dag staat Arizona bekend om zijn diverse gemeenschappen en historische bezienswaardigheden. De mix van culturen is duidelijk zichtbaar in de kunst, keuken en festivals.
