Arizona is located in the southwestern region of the United
States. The capital and
largest city is Phoenix. The second largest city is Tucson,
followed in size by the eight Phoenix metropolitan area cities of Mesa,
Glendale, Chandler, Scottsdale, Gilbert,
Tempe,
Peoria,
Surprise and then by Yuma
in Yuma County. Arizona is the 48th state and
last of the contiguous states admitted
to the Union, achieving statehood on February 14, 1912 - the 50th anniversary
of Arizona's recognition as a territory of the Confederate States of
America. Arizona is noted for its desert
climate, exceptionally hot summers, and mild winters, however it also
features pine forests and mountain ranges in the northern high country, with
cooler weather than in the lower deserts.
Arizona is one of the Four Corners
states. It borders New
Mexico, Utah,
Nevada,
California,
touches Colorado,
and has a 389-mile (626 km) international
border with the states of Sonora
and Baja
California in Mexico.
It is the largest landlocked U.S. state by population. In addition to the Grand Canyon, many other national forests, parks, and monuments are located in
the state, while more than a quarter of its territory is Federal Trust Land
which serves as the home of the Navajo
Nation, the Hopi
tribe, the Tohono
O'odham and Apachepeolpe,
various Yavapai
tribes and others. |

Boundary changes
|
|||||||||||||||||||||
Conducting genealogical research in
the United States requires an understanding of State and County
boundaries. As the population grew
more counties were created to meet the public’s need for localized governments. This phenomena was
common in all states during the 17th, 18th and 19th
centuries. As such you may be looking
for records in the wrong county or state.
The web site
for the Atlas of Historical County
Boundary Project provides interactive maps for all
states. The Atlas of Historical County Boundaries is meant to be a resource
for people seeking records of past events, as well as people trying to
analyze, interpret and display county-based historical data like Land Records, Probate Records, Court Records, Tax Records,
and Vital
Records that document birth, death, and marriage. The following link will take
you to a list of all the boundary changes to this State and each
county or equivalent within this U.S. State, as well as the date these
changes occurred. Each entry is
followed by a citation to the primary source(s) used to determine the change. |
