The Mesilla or Gadsden Purchase, which included parts of Arizona and New Mexico.
A strip of United States territory along southern New Mexico and Arizona bought from Mexico in 1853. It is named for James Gadsden, ambassador to Mexico from 1853-56, who negotiated the treaty which included the terms of the purchase. The cost was $10,000,000 and also included the settlement of various claims by Mexico against the United States.
The United States attempted to buy California and New Mexico from Mexico in the mid-19th century. This effort culminated in the 1848 Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, which ended the Mexican-American War and resulted in Mexico ceding these territories to the U.S. for $15 million. Additionally, the U.S. had previously sought to purchase these areas through diplomacy, notably during the 1853 Gadsden Purchase, which added further southern territories to the nation.
The Gadsden Purchase is the area of land in southern Arizona and southern New Mexico that was purchased from México so that the transcontinental railroad could go around the Rocky Mountains without leaving the country.
