Mississippi became a territory on 7 April 1798 and remained so until 10 December, 1817 when it was admitted to the Union as the state of Mississippi. The territory originally included what is now the state of Alabama, but this territory was separated out 9 months prior to Mississippi being admitted to the Union.
