The land that now contains the Grand Canyon was once claimed by Spain, and then by Mexico. Neither nation made much of an attempt to explore the region, and it is doubtful its ruler even knew the place existed.

Ten years after the U.S.A. acquired the region, John Ives stated, in his official 1858 report: "The region is of course altogether valueless. Ours has been the first, and will doubtless be the last, party of whites to visit this profitless locality."

Yes. The Grand Canyon is located in Arizona, along the Colorado River. Arizona used to be part of Mexico until the Mexican-American War (1846-1848).
