Congress admitted New Mexico as the 47th state of the United States on January 6, 1912. This decision followed a lengthy process that began with its designation as a U.S. territory in 1850 and included various political and social developments, including the push for statehood fueled by population growth and economic development. The statehood movement also reflected broader national debates about issues such as governance and representation. Ultimately, New Mexico's admission aimed to integrate the territory more fully into the Union and address its unique cultural and historical context.
