Arizona
Arizona became a state on February 14, 1912. Prior to statehood, it was known as the Territory of Arizona (or Arizona Territory) between 1863–1912.
According to the survey, Germans from Russia first arrived in Arizona in 1957 when second generation descendants from the Volga colony of Beideck settled in Yuma, Arizona.
There were immigrant Germans from Russia who lived in Arizona, but it appears they arrived later after having lived elsewhere first. There were also first, second, third, fourth and fifth generation descendants living there at some point.

There were 27 places in Arizona reported on the survey. Included below is the earliest year Germans from Russia reportedly arrived in each place.
