Arizona is a Johnny-come-lately as far as statehood goes. It was the last state of the contiguous 48 states to be admitted to the union and it would be another 47 years before the 49th star (Alaska) would be added to our nation's flag.

But that didn't stop Arizonians in all parts of the state from throwing one big party that lasted from 2010 to 2012. There are many web sites that have links to many of the individual celebrations. The web site listed below is just one of those many pages with links.
