There were 45 US States.

Theodore Roosevelt was in office and he objected to the plan that Oklahoma residents had for entering the Union as two different States, a State of Sequoyah and a State of Oklahoma. Roosevelt insisted that the Oklahoma Indian Territory come in as a single unified state, or not at all. He also did not approve of the State's proposed Constitution, and until the document met his approval Statehood would be denied. Utah had become the 45th US State on 4 January 1896 and Oklahoma finally became the 46th US State on 16 November 1907.

The only states to be admitted after Oklahoma were New Mexico and Arizona (in 1912), and Alaska and Hawaii (in 1959).
