It achieved statehood in 1912 and was originally part of New Mexico. The land used to be on an ocean floor but it began to dry and volcanoes sprouted and formed mountain ranges. The remaining of the water became rivers and streams cutting deep canyons. Then Spaniards came and started converting the Indians that lived there in to Christians.
