Alaska is the westernmost state.

The Aleutian Islands extend past 180˚W/E, which makes Alaska not only the westernmost state, but the easternmost as well, as these islands extend into the Eastern Hemisphere.

See the related link below for more information about the Aleutian Islands.

The farthest Western State is actually Alaska and not Hawaii. It is also the furthest North.

It is technically also the farthest East because the Aleutian Islands cross over the 180 degree meridian line, which puts the Islands in the Eastern Hemisphere.

The 49th US state, Alaska is situated on the most northern location. Alaska had been a Russian province until 1867 when the Russian Czar sold it to the US, under the US Secretary of State Seward.
