The 39th state is North Dakota AS WELL as South Dakota; the two joined the Union on the same date, and neither is given the position of 40th legally. However, North Dakota is generally thought as the 39th state and South Dakota the 40th simply because of the alphabetical order and it is just easier to not have two 39th states.
