Arizona Relocation Real Estate and Realtors®.
The word Arizona comes from one of the following (its origin is not certain): the Aztec Indian word "arizuma," that means "silver-bearing," from the Tohono O'odham Indian word "Aleh-zone" which means "small spring," or the Pima Indian word "Ali shonak" which also means "small spring."
The 13 rays of red and gold on the top half of the flag represent
both the 13 original colonies of the Union, and the rays of the Western
setting sun. Red and gold were also the colors carried by Coronado's
Spanish expedition in search of the Seven Cities of Cibola in 1540. The
bottom half of the flag has the same Liberty blue as the United States
flag. Since Arizona was the largest producer of copper in the nation, a
copper star was placed in the flag's center. Flag adopted 1917. Arizona
became the 48th state on February 14, 1912.
