Copper State was organized on September 20, 2003. Our chapter name comes from the importance of copper in Arizona. This importance is symbolized by the copper star on the Arizona State flag, dating back to 1917, and by the copper dome on the State Capitol building.
From the discovery of the rich mineral deposits by prospectors with picks and burros in the early 1800s to the sophisticated, high technology industry that today makes Arizona an international business leader, copper has spurred Arizona's development and prosperity. To say that the copper industry has grown with Arizona is to understate the obvious. Arizona has grown because of copper. In the words of one Arizona copper mining executive, "What would build Arizona lay beneath the ground itself."
