Fun Fact: The Gadsden Purchase is a 29,670-square-mile region of what is today southern Arizona and southwestern New Mexico. It was purchased by the United States in a treaty signed by President Franklin Pierce in 1853, and then ratified by the U.S. Senate on April 25, 1854. It is named for James Gadsden, the American ambassador sent to Mexico at the time. The purchase included lands south of the Gila River and west of the Rio Grande. The Gadsden Purchase was intended to allow for the construction of a transcontinental railroad along a very southern route, and it was part of negotiations needed to finalize border issues that remained unresolved from the Treaty of Guadalupe-Hidalgo, which ended the Mexican-American War of 1846–48.
