Arizona is one of the youngest states, but also one of the longest inhabited. The original inhabitants – the Anasazi and Hohokam Indian cultures – have lived in this dry but beautiful landscape for at least 2,500 years. After them, Arizona was inhabited by the Apaches and Navajo shortly before the arrival of the Spaniards. Arizona belonged to Spain until 1848, when it was ceded to the United States. Another territory was added in 1853 on the basis of the Gadsden Purchase. Many legends about the Wild West have their roots in Arizona. Tombstone, for example, is notorious for the OK Corral skirmishes.
During the 1970s, Arizona’s population almost doubled with the influx of immigrants from other countries. They are attracted by the sunny climate and job opportunities in cities like Phoenix and Tucson. Arizona is sparsely populated in most areas. The proportion of Indians (about 5.5%) is higher than in most other countries, but the Hispanic community already reaches 20%.
The beautiful scenery of Arizona with wild rocks rising from the semi-desert plateaus and especially the Colorado River Canyon forms the basis of growing tourism.
