The State of Washington was admitted to the Union in 1889 and was the 42nd state admitted. It was created from the western portion of the Washington Territory, which was established in 1846 after the Oregon Boundary Dispute with Britain was settled.

The region that is now Washington state was being visited and lived in by people of European descent as early as 1775.

Washington State, the University, was established by the state legislature on 28 March 1890. It opened on 13 January 1892. It took the name Washington State university in 1959, having first been called Washington Agricultural College and School of Scienceand then, beginning in 1905, the State College of Washington.

Thanks for the fine answer to this question.
