This is a catalog of the constituent states of the USA, as well as territories and other subdivisions within or dependent on the USA.

Federal District

The capital of the United States of America is a separate federal district and not part of any one State; historically, it was created from land ceded by Maryland and Virginia
Name Capital Date of Admission
to the Union		 Mayor History
District of Columbia Washington July 26, 1788 Adrian M. Fenty (Democrat) History of the District of Columbia

Unincorporated territories

The following Territories belong to the United States of America. They do not belong to any one State. These islands are inhabited.

Name Capital Governor Population[1] Size[1]
(Square miles)
American Samoa Pago Pago (Capital)
Fagatogo (Seat of Government)		 Togiola Tulafono (Democratic) 65,000 76
Guam Hagåtña (Agana) Felix Perez Camacho (Republican) 179,000 209
Northern Mariana Islands Saipan Benígno Fitial (Covenant) 81,000 184
Puerto Rico San Juan Luis Fortuño (Republican) 3,955,000 3,515
U.S. Virgin Islands Charlotte Amalie John deJongh, Jr. (Democratic) 112,000 136

In a 2012 referendum in Puerto Rico, two questions were asked. In the first, a majority voted for a change in status. In the second, a majority voted to request admission as the 51st state if any change were to be made. This would require ratification by Congress.

Outlying Islands

The following Territories belong to the United States of America. They do not belong to any one State. Except for the military forces on Wake and Kwajalein, and US Government employees on Midway[2] these islands are uninhabited; many are United States Pacific Island Wildlife Refuges. A number of battles of the Second World War in the Pacific were fought on them or in the waters near them.
