Before 1900, the U.S. possession farthest from its mainland was Guam, located in the western Pacific Ocean. Acquired from Spain as part of the Treaty of Paris in 1898, Guam is about 3,700 miles from the U.S. West Coast. Its strategic location made it significant for military and trade purposes, especially as the U.S. expanded its influence in the Pacific.
The U.S. possession farthest from the mainland is unincorporated territory of Guam, located in the western Pacific Ocean. Guam is approximately 3,800 miles away from the U.S. mainland.
