The term "48 states" refers to the contiguous United States, which includes the 48 states located between Canada and Mexico, excluding Alaska and Hawaii. This designation was commonly used before Alaska and Hawaii became states in 1959. The contiguous United States encompasses a diverse range of geography, culture, and history. The term is often used to simplify discussions about the lower 48 states in various contexts, such as geography or Demographics.
