Best Answer

North Dakota and South Dakota were both part of the Dakota Territory. The Dakota Territory was split into the states of North Dakota and South Dakota when President Benjamin Harrison signed proclamations in Washington, DC, on November 2, 1889, formally admitting both North Dakota and South Dakota to the union. President Harrison had the papers shuffled so that no one would know which proclamation was signed first.
