As they are today. Alaska and Hawaii were the last to be granted statehood in 1959

The State of Alaska officially became the property of the United States October 18, 1867. Alaska was granted statehood January 3, 1959.
The 49th state is Alaska,the 50th is Hawaii,both were granted Statehood in 1959.
1959
West Virginia was granted statehood 1863.
West Virginia was granted statehood 1863.
All states must adopt the a form of government and a constitution in accordance to the US constitution before they are granted statehood. A territory will hold a referendum and if the majority votes for statehood, the Congress will be petitioned. If the Congress passes a joint resolution to grant statehood, the president signs it and statehood is granted to the territory.
After statehood means after the certain state got granted it's statehood and getting it's statehood means being granted the official privilege of being a state in the United states... srry 4 the long answer... hope it help somewhat!!! =D
