Happy Birthday Arizona!


Today is our fair state's 96th brithday!

Arizona became the 48th state when it joined the union on February 14, 1912. Only Alaska and Hawaii are younger then we are. Hard to believe we've been around for 96 years. It's amazing to think that the entire population for the state of Arizona was around 1 million in 1960. That's the population of Tucson now. Kind of exciting that we share this special day with Valentine's Day!
