     No one quite knows where Arizona's name comes from. Some say Arizona comes from a Pima Indian word for "little spring." Others say Arizona comes from a variation of the Spanish phrase for "dry place" - arida zona. But it's easy for everyone who's been there to agree that they love Arizona, whatever it means.

     In recent years, Arizona has been the fastest growing state in America, second only to its neighbor, Nevada. Retirees have been pouring into Arizona's planned communities, mostly around Phoenix, for the year round sun (it does rain in Arizona once in a while though, and when it does, it pours - often creating flash floods). Young families have been buying up houses in Arizona's suburbs, lured by low prices and a job market hotter than the Sonora desert. And now and again tourists, who've fallen in love with the ponderosa forested mountains around Flagstaff or the historic Spanish colonial chapels outside Tucson, pull up their northern roots and relocate.

     The real beauty of Arizona - other than the Grand Canyon panoramic - is that the state is so diverse, packed with truly global cities and dynamic businesses. At the same time the landscape strikingly empty, so that Arizona seems capable of being anything you could want it to be.

     Now that you're moving to Arizona, there are a couple facts you'll want to remember:

• Arizona's population is 5,130,632. Arizona's capital is Phoenix.
• Before you get to Arizona, visit a Western apparel store. Arizona's official state neckwear is the bola tie.
• Arizona's most abundant mineral is copper. In fact, the dome of the Arizona state capitol in Phoenix is coated with the equivalent of 4.8 million pennies-worth of it.
• A resident of Arizona is properly called an Arizonan.
• The greater Phoenix area has been the fastest growing spot in Arizona. Once a small city known for its spa scene and year-round warmth, metro Phoenix has become known for something new lately: air pollution.
• In Arizona, the heat helps write state laws: Arizona law makes it illegal to refuse a person a glass of water.
• In Nogales, Arizona a city ordinance prohibits anyone from wearing suspenders.
