New states in the United States are typically admitted under the process outlined in the Northwest Ordinance of 1787, which established a framework for statehood. While there is no specific duration for how long it takes for a territory to become a state, the process often involves several years of development, population growth, and meeting specific requirements. Historically, the time frame has varied significantly from territory to territory. For example, Hawaii became a state in about 60 years after its annexation, while other states, like Texas, had different timelines based on their unique circumstances.
By the beginning of 1850 the United states had grown from 13 to 30 states. California was admitted as the 31st state in 1850, Minnesota was admitted as the 32nd state in 1858, and Oregon was admitted as the 33rd state in 1859.
Under the Northwest Ordinance of 1787, a new state had to be in the Union for at least three years before it could be considered for full statehood and receive the same privileges and rights as the thirteen original states. This provision aimed to ensure that new states had time to establish their governments and meet certain conditions before gaining equal status.
Mississippi became the 20th state in the union when it was admitted on December 10, 1817. There are 82 counties in the U.S. state of Mississippi.
