Indigenous peoples from the Central and South America journeyed into Arizona as early as 25,000 BCE. The first European explorer to discover Arizona was Marcos de Niza, a franciscan friar looking for the Seven Cities of Gold, in 1539.
The 1849 California gold rush attracted Americans from all walks of life. Of course the first Americans involved were miners.
