Frequently Asked Questions

There are 50 states in the United States of America. The most recent state, Hawaii, was admitted to the Union on August 21, 1959, followed by Alaska on January 3, 1959.
• Delaware was the first state (December 7, 1787)

• Wyoming has the smallest population
• Alaska and Hawaii are the only non-contiguous states
In addition to 50 states, the US has 14 territories including Puerto Rico, Guam, US Virgin Islands, American Samoa, Northern Mariana Islands, and several smaller islands. These territories are not states but are under US jurisdiction.
New states can be added through the admission process outlined in the US Constitution. It requires Congress to pass an admission act, which is then signed by the President. The last state admitted was Hawaii in 1959.
Only 17 state capitals are also their state's largest city. Examples include Boston (MA), Providence (RI), and Indianapolis (IN). Most capitals were chosen for central location rather than population size.
