Political Division of the United States of America Of the 50 federal states, which form the United States, 48 are contiguous states. The 2 exceptions are Alaska and Hawaii, which lie to the northwest of the continent and in the mid-Pacific, respectively. Alaska is the largest state in terms of area, while California has the distinction of being the most populous state in the US.
The first thirteen states of the United States were constituted following the rebellion of the thirteen colonies in 1776. Since then, the US Congress has exercised its power to add several new states to the Union; the last of which was the state of Hawaii. (The US Supreme court considers secession unconstitutional; even though there is no explicit mention of the same in the Constitution.) The possibility of adding new states to the Union cannot be ruled out. Of the few names that are being discussed, Puerto Rico is most likely to become the 51st state of America. As of now though, the number of states in USA is 50 -- and not 48, 49 or 51 as many people believe.
