Oregon And Arizona Become U.S. States
There was a large population of American Indians living in Oregon when the first Europeans arrived. Spanish sailors traveling from the Philippines to Mexico were probably the first white people to spot the coast of Oregon.
Oregon settlers organized a provisional government in 1843 and became a territory five years later. In 1853, the Washington Territory was created, and Oregon received the boundaries it has today. The territory grew fast after the Donation Land Law of 1850 was passed. This law gave 320 acres of land to any U.S. citizen over 18 years old. With its population booming, Oregon was able to apply for statehood, which it received on February 14, 1859.
In 1752, the Spanish established the first white settlement at Tubac. When Mexico won its independence from Spain in 1821, Arizona became part of Mexico. The area changed hands again after the Mexican-American War, when most of Arizona became part of the U.S. Arizona settlers unsuccessfully attempted to become a distinct U.S. territory in the 1850s. Many settlers were from the South, and were sympathetic to the Confederacy when it was formed in 1861. When the Confederate government created the Confederate Territory of Arizona, it was largely a symbolic gesture.
