The last two US states were Alaska (49) and Hawaii (50) in 1959. 100 years earlier, in 1859, there were 33, after the addition of Oregon on February 14, 1859. In 1908, 100 years before 2008, there were 46 states. Oklahoma was admitted in 1907. In 1910, 100 years before 2010, there were still 46 states. Two years later, the total reached 48. In 1912, 100 years before 2012, the last two contiguous states were added, Arizona and New Mexico.

49 of the 50 U.S. states are on the continent (all except Hawaii). 48 of them are contiguous. Alaska is continental but not contiguous.
There are 49 states in continental America.
The Continental or Contiguous US means the states that touch each other. The contiguous United States are the "Lower 48" States on the continent of North America that are south of Canada, plus the Capital (Washington, D.C.) The term excludes the states of Alaska and Hawaii, and all off-shore territories and possessions, such as Puerto Rico.There are 50 US states, but only 48 are 48 contiguous states. Alaska and Hawaii are the only 2 that are not part of the mainland and do not have a border with the other 48 states.
Minnesota extends farther north than any other of the 48 contiguous states, but Alaska is by far the northernmost of the 49 continental states.
The contiguous United States is the 48 adjoining states including the federal district of Washington D.C. The country which is directly north of it, is Canada.Canada is north of 48 states in the USA, (not Alaska or Hawaii).
Minnesota is the northernmost state of the contiguous 48 states, or the "Lower 48". A segment of Minnesota's boundary juts north to include Angle Inlet (49˚ 20' 43" N), located in the "Northwest Angle", due to an error and ambiguity in the Treaty of Paris. This is the only section of the contiguous US located north of the 49th parallel.
There are 49 states in the continental US, which includes the "lower 48" and Alaska, which are all part of the North American continent.A separate designation is the contiguous US (joined together). This includes only the "lower 48" states, because Alaska is separated by British Columbia (Canada) and Hawaii by the Pacific Ocean.There are forty-nine states in the Continental US: all but Hawaii.There are 48 states in the contiguous United States, contiguous meaning "connected." Each of the "lower 48" states is connected to at least one other state.Alaska, while also on the North American continent, is separated from the others by British Columbia (Canada). Hawaii is separated from the US mainland by the Pacific Ocean.

They are called the contiguous 48 states. All of them border at least one other state.They are also called the "lower 48" -- although this is accurate for Alaska, Hawaii is actually farther south than any other US state, so it refers to the continental 49 states.
