[edit] Summary

Animation showing US states by date of statehood, see List of U.S. states by date of statehood for more details. The first thirteen states are shown in the order by the date each ratified the present United States Constitution, the rest show the year of admission to the union in the sliding scale at the bottom.

Note that this shows present day state boundaries, which in some cases do not correspond with the historical boundaries of the state, such as West Virginia which was a part of Virginia until 1861.
