Why are there territories?

In the US, territories were established by law for national areas not yet administered by states. They included the Northwest Territory (Midwest), the Louisiana Territory (central US), and various territories which later joined the union as states (the last being Arizona, Alaska, and Hawaii). Puerto Rico and several other islands remain territories of the US.

In other governments, territories are also non-states with rights and government different from states. These include Yukon, Nunavut, and the Northwest Territories (Canada), and Australia's Capital Territory, Northern Territory, Jervis Bay Territory, and Tasmania.

Nunavut is not a province in Canada. It is one of three territories. It became a territory on April 1, 1999 when it split from the Northwest Territories, though the decision to become a separate territory, and boundaries were determined in the mid 90's. Nunavut was generally accepted as a location from the time around when the boundaries were set, even though it didn't gain official status until 1999.

There was a lot of talk over whether Nunavut should be created as a Territory or a Province in the mid 90's. It is my understanding that it was created as a territory with the intention of one day becoming a province.
