Arizona State Nickname
The Grand Canyon State
Arizona's state nickname is the "Grand Canyon State," and it was officially adopted on February 28, 1912, the same day Arizona achieved statehood. The moniker pays homage to the spectacular Grand Canyon, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World, which is located within the state. The Grand Canyon's awe-inspiring beauty, with its vast expanses of colorful rock formations and deep canyons carved by the Colorado River, captures the essence of Arizona's diverse and stunning landscapes. This nickname not only reflects the state's natural wonders but has also become a symbol of Arizona's unique geological heritage and its contribution to the nation's natural beauty.
