What is the order of acquisition of United States of America states territories and possessions?
A full answer is rather complicated, and there is a link below to an article that covers it in detail.
A short answer, leaving out many details, is that the United States started with the 13 colonies and their possessions, which went generally from the East Coast to the Mississippi River. This was first expanded by the Louisiana Purchase. Next, the US purchased Florida from the Spanish. The US established a claim on the Nortwest, and set most of the current border, acquiring most of Minnesota in the process. Texas was annexed in 1845, and much of the Southwest taken from Mexico on 1846. Some land in Arizona and New Mexico was purchased from Mexico in 1853, and Alaska was purchased from Russia in 1867. Hawaii was annexed in 1898.
