The United States did not always have 50 states. A long time ago in the 1700s the country did not yet exist. The land was here, but there were no states until 1787. During that time, the first pieces of land, which are called states today, were called territories or colonies. Colonies were formed in America when people from England came and lived in different places on the East coast. There were 13 original colonies, which were also the first states of America. They are shown on the map to the left.
As time passed more and more states joined together and the United States was formed with a total of 50 states. The first state of America was Delaware and the last state to become part of America was Hawaii. It is important to learn the different names of the 50 states of America. When you hear the news, read a book, or do school work, the different names of the states may be said. The more you read about the different states, and see the names of each state, you will start to remember them.
