Each of the 50 states comprising the United States of America are listed in order by the date each individual state joined the United States Union. One could certainly consider all 13 original colonies to be members of the United States from the date of the Declaration of Independence, July 4th, 1776, or from the date of ratification of the Articles of Confederation. Since each subsequently ratified the present United States Constitution, they are presented in that order. Confederate States The dates of statehood on this list do not account for the secession during the American Civil War of several Southern states to form the Confederate States of America or the subsequent restoration of those states to the U.S. following the Civil War. # State Ratification or Admission Previously known as 1 Delaware July 4th, 1776 and December 7th, 1787 Lower Counties on Delaware, then sovereign state in Confederation (One of the original 13 colonies) 2 Pennsylvania July 4th, 1776 and December 12th, 1787 Province of Pennsylvania, then sovereign state in Confederation (One of the original 13 colonies) 3 New Jersey July 4th, 1776 and December 18th, 1787 Province of New Jersey, then sovereign state in Confederation (One of the original 13 colonies) 4 Georgia July 4th, 1776 and January 2nd, 1788 Province of Georgia, then sovereign state in Confederation (One of the original 13 colonies) 5 Connecticut July 4th, 1776 and January 9th, 1788 Connecticut Colony, then sovereign state in Confederation (One of the original 13 colonies) 6 Massachusetts July 4th, 1776 and February 6th, 1788 Province of Massachusetts Bay, then sovereign state in Confederation (One of the original 13 colonies) 7 Maryland July 4th, 1776 and April 28th, 1788 Province of Maryland, then sovereign state in Confederation (One of the original 13 colonies) 8 South Carolina July 4th, 1776 and May 23rd, 1788 Province of South Carolina, then sovereign state in Confederation (One of the original 13 colonies) 9 New Hampshire July 4th, 1776 and June 21st, 1788 Province of New Hampshire, then sovereign state in Confederation (One of the original 13 colonies) 10 Virginia July 4th, 1776 and June 25th, 1788 Virginia Colony, then sovereign state in Confederation (One of the original 13 colonies) 11 New York July 4th, 1776 and July 26th, 1788 Province of New York, then sovereign state in Confederation (One of the original 13 colonies) 12 North Carolina July 4th, 1776 and November 21st, 1789 Province of North Carolina, then sovereign state in Confederation (One of the original 13 colonies) 13 Rhode Island July 4th, 1776 and May 29th, 1790 Colony of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations, then sovereign state in Confederation (One of the original 13 colonies) 14 Vermont March 4th, 1791 Province of New York, Vermont Republic 15 Kentucky June 1st, 1792 Virginia 16 Tennessee June 1st, 1796 North Carolina, then Southwest Territory 17 Ohio March 1st, 1803 Northwest Territory 18 Louisiana April 30th, 1812 Orleans Territory 19 Indiana December 11th, 1816 Northwest Territory (Indiana Territory) 20 Mississippi December 10th, 1817 Mississippi Territory 21 Illinois December 3rd, 1818 Northwest Territory (Illinois Territory) 22 Alabama December 14th, 1819 Alabama Territory 23 Maine March 15th, 1820 Massachusetts 24 Missouri August 10th, 1821 Missouri Territory 25 Arkansas June 15th, 1836 Arkansas Territory 26 Michigan January 26th, 1837 Northwest Territory (Michigan Territory) 27 Florida March 3rd, 1845 Florida Territory 28 Texas December 29th, 1845 Republic of Texas 29 Iowa December 28th, 1846 Iowa Territory 30 Wisconsin May 29th, 1848 Northwest Territory (Wisconsin Territory) 31 California September 9th, 1850 Alta California 32 Minnesota May 11th, 1858 Minnesota Territory 33 Oregon February 14th, 1859 Oregon Territory 34 Kansas January 29th, 1861 Kansas Territory 35 West Virginia June 20th, 1863 Virginia 36 Nevada October 31st, 1864 Nevada Territory 37 Nebraska March 1st, 1867 Nebraska Territory 38 Colorado August 1st, 1876 Colorado Territory 39 North Dakota November 2nd, 1889 Dakota Territory 40 South Dakota November 2nd, 1889 Dakota Territory 41 Montana November 8th, 1889 Montana Territory 42 Washington November 11th, 1889 Washington Territory 43 Idaho July 3rd, 1890 Idaho Territory 44 Wyoming July 10th, 1890 Wyoming Territory 45 Utah January 4th, 1896 Utah Territory 46 Oklahoma November 16th, 1907 Oklahoma Territory, Indian Territory 47 New Mexico January 6th, 1912 New Mexico Territory 48 Arizona February 14th, 1912 Arizona Territory 49 Alaska January 3rd, 1959 Alaska Territory 50 Hawaii August 21st, 1959 Kingdom of Hawaii, Hawaii Territory Our complete list of all state capitals in the United States can be found at U.S. State Capitals.
