About Arizona
In 1848, the United States took control of Arizona territory after winning the Mexican-American War. By 1912, Arizona became the 48th state in the Union, making it the last state in the contiguous U.S. Arizona might be best known as the home of the Grand Canyon, where nearly 6 million people visit each year. The state is also known for its deserts, especially the Sonoran Desert, which is the only place in the world where the saguaro cactus grows. Phoenix is the state’s most populous city and has teams from all four major professional sports: the NHL’s Arizona Coyotes, NBA’s Phoenix Suns, NFL’s Arizona Cardinals, and MLB’s Arizona Diamondbacks.
