Back in the day…

C

elebrating 100 years, we go back in time and remember a few of the memorable moments in Arizona’s history: • March 18, 1901, the Arizona Territorial Legislature adopted the saguaro cactus blossom as the official state flower.

• Theodore Roosevelt Dam was dedicated on May 19, 1911, less than a year before Arizona’s statehood. The massive structure was the first multiple-purpose dam, supplying both water and electric power, to be constructed under the National Reclamation Act and at the time, the largest masonry dam in the world.

• Arizona became the 48th state on Feb. 14, 1912, exactly 50 years after the Confederates first declared Arizona a territory.

• On Feb. 26, 1919, the Grand Canyon became a U.S. National Park.

• On Nov. 30, 1927, the Apache Trail between Phoenix and Roosevelt lake was opened to tourists.

• Pluto was discovered in 1930 at the Lowell Observatory in Flagstaff as the ninth planet in our solar system. However, in 2006 the planet was downgraded to “dwarf planet” status by the International Astronomical Union.

• In 1937, Frank Lloyd Wright purchased the plot of desert land that would soon become Taliesin West outside Scottsdale.

• In 2015, the Super Bowl returns to the Valley of the Sun! Find out more by going to visitphoenix.com.
