Power companies in the west purchased 60Hz equipment, and companies in the east purchased 50Hz equipment. This was back in the late 1800's to early 1900's. It would be cost prohibitive to replace all the 50Hz equipment with 60Hz, or vice versa at this point, so both are used.
Primary electrical distribution carries medium voltage power to distribution transformers near the customers. Secondary electrical distribution transfers the power from the transformer to the households.
When two ac power supplies are to be connected to a common (bus bar) distribution, voltages, frequencies and phase angles of both power plants should be adjusted to equal values (or grid values) and connect.
