Prior to 1863, Arizona and New Mexico were one territory known as the New Mexico Territory and the population was pretty sparse. In 1910 Arizona was authorized to become a state by Congress. This event involved Arizona trying to become a state and separate itself. This event is very important to history becuase it helped form our country.
