No. Puerto Rico is an overseas territory (a protectorate) of the United States. The United Nations considers it a colony of the US. But, the reason it is not part of the contiguous US is because of its geographic location - - in the Caribbean Sea and not physically connected to the mainland.
The word contiguous means touching or connected. The contiguous US refers to the largest connected piece of American land. This happens to be the land situated between Mexico and Canada, which is also referred to as the Lower 48 because it contains forty-eight states. Therefore, the 48 states that are joined together are considered the contiguous United States, leaving Hawaii and Alaska as stand-alone states.The contiguous US is sometimes mistaken with the continental US. The continental US refers to the area of the US that is located on the continent of North America. This is just the contiguous US in addition to Alaska. Yet, Hawaii is not a part of the continental US either.It means it does not physically touch other states. Hawaii has an ocean between itself and other states. Alaska has another country- Canada- between it and another state.
Contiguous means that their borders are touching the continental US. Alaska and Hawaii do not touch the mainland.
