While 4 lt ls the last of the stales to be " admitted to the Union and as " such dates its existence only from 1010, its history before the " advent of white men dates hack I Into the dim past. Here were < located those interesting people, \ the Cliff Dwellers, and the ruins < of their cities high up In lnac- ! cessible places have caused much J speculation os to these ancient ! people. It ls supposed that these Cliff Dwellers were the anees v tors of the Pueblo Indians and ! were decidedly moro advanced , 1 In civilization than their nelgh ? hors. They were probably of !! the same race as the Astees of " ? Mexico and understood Irriga tion, agriculture and the build ing arts. It was rumors of the great I . Pueblos that Instigated the first ; visit of the white men. Padre ?? Nlzan In 1539 explored this ter ; rltory and he was followed by ! Coronado In search of the myth ]' leal wealth of the lud?an cities. Coronado, though falling to find !! the reputed gold, did discover I! the Grand Canon of the Colo- ; ; redo with Its wonderful scenic beauty, which has become one of ; I - the great assets of the slate. This region was considered part of Spanish territory and ' when Mexico declared Its inde- ! . pendence lt became a Mexican K| province. After tire Juexlcan war the section north of the Olia river wes ceded to the United States and the southern portion was acquired through the Gads * den Purchase In 1868. In 1803 i Arizona waa separated from New Mexico and made a terri tory. The derivation of the name Arizona is uncertain, but lt pos sibly came from the Spanish, meaning "dry belt." (?br MoClur?
