In the United States, the process of becoming a state typically required a territory to have a minimum population of 60,000 residents, as outlined in the Northwest Ordinance of 1787. However, this was not a strict rule, and some territories achieved statehood with lower populations through political negotiation or special circumstances. Additionally, each state has its own history and context regarding population and statehood. Overall, while 60,000 was a common benchmark, the actual number varied.
