The Four Corners is a region of the United States consisting of the southwestern corner of Colorado, northwestern corner of New Mexico, northeastern corner of Arizona and southeastern corner of Utah. The Four Corners area is named after the quadripoint where the boundaries of the four states meet, where the Four Corners Monument is located. The majority of the Four Corners region is part of semi-autonomous indigenous American Indian nations, the largest of which is the Navajo Nation, followed by Hopi, Ute and Zuni Indian nations. The Four Corners region is part of a larger region known as the Colorado Plateau and is mostly rural, rugged and arid. In addition to the monument, commonly visited areas within Four Corners include Monument Valley, Mesa Verde National Park and Canyon de Chelly National Monument. The most populous city in the Four Corners region is Farmington, New Mexico, followed by Durango, Colorado.
The United States first acquired the area now called Four Corners from Mexico after the Mexican–American War in 1848. In 1863 Congress created Arizona Territory from the western part of New Mexico Territory. The boundary was defined as a line running due south from the southwest corner of Colorado Territory, which had been created in 1861. This was an unusual act of Congress, which almost always defined the boundaries of new territories as lines of latitude or longitude, or following rivers. By defining one boundary as starting at the corner of another Congress ensured the eventual creation of four states meeting at a point, regardless of the inevitable errors of boundary surveying. The area was first surveyed by the U.S. Government in 1868 as part of an effort to make Colorado Territory into a state, the first of the Four Corners states formed. The first marker was placed at the spot in 1912. The first Navajo tribal government was established in 1923 to regulate an increasing number of oil exploration activities on Navajo tribal lands.
There is nothing like the
Smell of a summer breeze
Nothing like the chill from
The shadow of a shady tree
Gonna go down to the river
Gonna go down make it right
And send all my love to your maker
For making you right
Are you ready for a new day, a new day
Blow me a kiss and send it straight to the sun
And if you want to take it my way, my way
Then this could be our summer song
There's nothing like the
Way that you say your on my side
And I want to know that
Words help me days go by
Gonna go down to the river
Gonna go down make it right
And send all my love to your maker
Ffor making you right
Are you ready for a new day, a new day
Blow me a kiss and send it straight to the sun
And if you want to take it my way, my way
Then this could be our summer song
Let me make you understand
Just take me by the hand
Let me show you all i can
And be your only man
If I could only make you see
Just what you mean to me
You know it won't be to long
Till we sing our summer song
Are you ready for a new day, a new day
Blow me a kiss and send it straight to the sun
And if you want to take it my way, my way
