History
Southern Arizona has been inhabited for several millennia. In ancient times, inhabitants included the
Patayan in the west, the
Hohokam in the central area, and the
Mogollon in the east. In more recent times, indigenous inhabitants have included the
Western Apache and the
Chiricahua Apache in the east, the
O'odham in the central area, and various
Yuman groups in the west.
Much of Southern Arizona was part of the territory gained by the United States during the
Gadsden Purchase.
