Shipping from the State of Arizona to South Dakota
Arizona was originally part of New Mexico; however, the land was yielded to the United States in 1848 and became a separate territory in 1863. On February 14, 1912, Arizona became the last of the 48 contiguous United States to be admitted to the union.
Arizona is located in the southwestern region of the United States. It is also part of the Western and the Mountain states. Arizona is the 6th largest and the 14th most populous of the 50 states. Arizona shares the Four Corners region with Utah, Colorado, and New Mexico; its other neighboring states are Nevada and California to the west and the Mexican states of Sonora and Baja California to the south and southwest. Both the capital city and the largest city is Phoenix.
Arizona is nicknamed “The Grand Canyon State”. It is also well-known as “The Copper State” and “The Valentine State”. The state tree is the Palo Verde, the state bird is the Cactus Wren and the state flower is the Saguaro Cactus Blossom. The state motto is “God Enriches” (Latin: Ditat Deus).
Shipping to the State of Arizona to South Dakota
The territory that would become South Dakota was added to the United States in 1803 as part of the Louisiana Purchase. The first permanent American settlement was established at Fort Pierre by the Lewis and Clark expedition in 1804. White settlement of the territory in the 1800s led to clashes with the Sioux, as some of the lands had been granted to the tribe by an earlier treaty. Nevertheless, the territory was incorporated into the union on November 2, 1889, along with North Dakota.
Due to a controversy over which state would be admitted to the union first, President Benjamin Harrison shuffled the bills and signed one at random, with the order going unrecorded, though North Dakota is traditionally listed first. Today, a major part of South Dakota’s economy is fueled by tourism–visitors flock to the state to see Mt. Rushmore, which features 60-foot-tall sculptures of the faces of Presidents Washington, Jefferson, Roosevelt, and Lincoln. Famous South Dakotans include newscaster Tom Brokaw, senator, and vice president Hubert Humphrey and model actress Cheryl Ladd.
