#OnThisDate November 2, 1889 - Twin Statehood
President Benjamin Harrison Signed Proclamations Admitting North Dakota And South Dakota Into The Union As The 39th And 40th States, Respectively.
This Significant Event Followed The Division Of The Dakota Territory, Which Had Been Established On March 2, 1861, Encompassing Present-Day North And South Dakota, As Well As Parts Of Montana And Wyoming.
The Territorial Capital Was Initially Located In Yankton, In The Southern Region, But Was Moved To Bismarck In 1883, Reflecting The Growing Population And Economic Development In The Northern Area.
The Push For Statehood Was Driven By The Desire For Greater Political Representation And Economic Opportunities.
The Enabling Act Of 1889, Signed By President Grover Cleveland On February 22, 1889, Authorized The Residents Of The Dakota Territory To Draft Constitutions And Form State Governments.
The Subsequent Admission Of Both States On The Same Day Was A Strategic Decision To Maintain Political Balance Between Republican And Democratic Interests In Congress.
The Exact Order Of Admission Remains Unknown, As President Harrison Deliberately Shuffled The Statehood Papers And Signed Them Without Revealing Which Was First.
This Dual Admission Marked A Pivotal Moment In The Westward Expansion Of The United States, Contributing To The Nation's Growth And The Development Of The Great Plains Region.
