The Gadsden Purchase is a region of present-day southern Arizona and southwestern New Mexico purchased by the U.S. from Mexico on December 30, 1853, the last of such large territorial acquisitions in the mainland United States. The influence of the railroad industry sought expansion to the pacific coast through the recently acquired territories of the Mexican Cession. The land was too mountainous for the railroad project so it was imperative that the U.S. territory be expanded further south to allow for a direct route.
