Arizona became a territory of the United States on February 24, 1863, and entered the Union on February 12, 1912, as the 48th state. The state bird is the cactus wren and the state flower is the saguaro cactus flower. There's no need to memorize this as all of the information is conveyed on a sticker, circa 1961, celebrating the state's coming semi-centennial in 1962 and its territorial centennial in 1963. This sticker was provided to cartoonist Charles Addams, who also came into this world in 1912, by Mr. K. H. Brown and family of Mesa when requesting a souvenir from the popular New Yorker cartoonist. Addams made good use of the sticker in a note to the Brown family on which he drew the character who was soon to be known on television as Uncle Fester of the Addams Family.
