As they are today. Alaska and Hawaii were the last to be granted statehood in 1959
The last states to join the United States were Hawaii (1959), Alaska (1959), Arizona (1912). In addition, New Mexico (1912), and Oklahoma (1907) were among the last five states to join the United States.
The last two countries to join the statehood signed in 1959. Alaska signed on January 3, 1959 and Hawaii on August 21, 1959.
The 49th state is Alaska,the 50th is Hawaii,both were granted Statehood in 1959.
For a very brief period of time - between Alaska's statehood on January 3, 1959 to Hawaii's statehood on August 21, 1959 - there were 49 states, so there were 49 stars on the US flag. Hawaii was the 50th state to join the Union. It was a territory of the United States since 1898. Prior to that, it had been a sovereign nation. Territories of the United States do not have a star on the U.S. flag.

1959
On 3 January 1959.
The State of Alaska officially became the property of the United States October 18, 1867. Alaska was granted statehood January 3, 1959.
All states must adopt the a form of government and a constitution in accordance to the US constitution before they are granted statehood. A territory will hold a referendum and if the majority votes for statehood, the Congress will be petitioned. If the Congress passes a joint resolution to grant statehood, the president signs it and statehood is granted to the territory.
After statehood means after the certain state got granted it's statehood and getting it's statehood means being granted the official privilege of being a state in the United states... srry 4 the long answer... hope it help somewhat!!! =D
There were 46 states and Oklahoma wasn the last to enter in 1907.
They became states in the same year of 1959. Both had reached the population where they could become a state.
none The 31st U.S. state, California, was granted statehood on September 9, 1850, and the 32nd state, Minnesota, was granted statehood on May 11, 1858.
Florida, Wisconsin, Michigan and West Virginia are east of the Mississippi and were not states by 1833. Michigan was granted statehood in 1837.
There was no point in time where Alaska gained independence. The United States bought Alaska from Russia in 1867, and it became a territory of the US. On January 3, 1959, Alaska was granted statehood.
Both received statehood in 1959.
