 * Arizona** borders New Mexico, Utah, Nevada, California, touches Colorado and has a 389-mile (626 kilometers) international border with the states of Sonora and Baja California in Mexico.

The name of the state appears to originate from an earlier Spanish name, Arizonac, derived from the O'odham name //alĭ ṣonak//, meaning "small spring" ([|Historians disagree on origins of Arizona's name])

Page
Page is a small town in northern Arizona located on the southern shores of Lake Powell. The town began in 1957 as a housing camp for workers building the Glen Canyon Dam. In 1958, some 24 square miles of Navajo land were exchanged for a larger tract in Utah, and "Government Camp" (later called Page in honor of Bureau of Reclamation Commissioner John C. Page) was born.
