Why the Northwest Territory was the first to reach statehood?
It wasn't, and it didn't.
First were the original 13 colonies. Next came Vermont (March 4, 1791), Kentucky (June 1, 1792) and Tennessee (June 1, 1796).
The "Territory Northwest of the River Ohio," more commonly known as the Northwest Territory, had been created on July 13, 1787. Ohio became the 17th state on March 1, 1803. It was the first state to be created out of the Northwest Territory.
