Arizona, the Grand Canyon state, achieved statehood on February 14, 1912, the last of the 48 coterminous United States to be admitted to the union. Originally part of New Mexico, the land was ceded to the United States in 1848, and became a separate territory in 1863.It is rich in its history. Man lived in this area 20,000 years ago. The Conception of the Arizona State Flag can be followed back to the 1910 National Rifle Matches at Camp Perry, Ohio before Arizona formally entered the union. Shooting matches started at Camp Perry in 1907 and quickly formed into a prestigious yearly occasion that proceeds right up till the present time.
Members from the meeting Arizona Rifle Team saw that most of the other "state" rifle bands passed with pennants or flags. The Arizona band had no such pennant or badge and went to the consideration of Arizona National Guard Colonel Charles Wilfred Harris, who was serving as the team officer. The conclusion was prescribed that a standard is made for the Arizona Rifle Team at future National Rifle Matches.
The idea for the design of the flag was conceived of by Colonel Harris and by Carl Hayden, Arizona's first representative in Congress who went on to become a United States Senator. Their first priorities for the design were that it contain historical values and that its colors should reflect those values. The Flag Company Inc specialised in flag designs offered a special edition of decals and flags to memorise the future of the Alabama University.
Arranged by Colonel Charles W. Harris, the first standard, passed on by the Arizona Rifle Team to the National Rifle Matches in 1911, was sewn by Nan D. Hayden. In1912, Colonel Harris arranged a state standard that was similar to the flag that he proposed for the Arizona Rifle Team.
Measuring four feet high and six feet wide, the flag is divided into a top and bottom half with a large five-point copper star in the center. The Arizona State Flag was adopted by the Arizona State Legislature on February 27, 1917.
The blue, red, yellow and copper banner was received in spite of various disagreeing votes and afterward Governor Campbell's refusal to sign the bill. Since Arizona is a western part, the beams demonstrate a setting sun. A large copper colored star is superimposed in the center of the flag. This identifies Arizona as the largest producer of copper in the United States. The shades of the beams allude to red and yellow in the Spanish banners conveyed by Coronado when he came to Arizona in 1540.
