Alaska, also known as “The Great Land,” has a rich history that dates back to the Russian settlement in 1784. In 1867, the United States purchased the territory from Russia for $7.2 million, a deal that was initially mocked but later celebrated after the discovery of gold in 1898. Alaska officially became a U.S. territory on October 18, 1867, and later gained statehood in 1959. The state has been home to significant events such as the Klondike Gold Rush and the only World War II battle fought on American soil.

Locum Tenens Overview: Arkansas

Arkansas officially became a state in 1836. Since then, the state has been in the spotlight on a few occasions. First, the famous Supreme Court ruling in Brown vs. the Board of Education brought Little Rock’s Central HS into the spotlight when it became a battleground for civil rights. Beyond that, it is known for being home to part of the Ozark National Forest which spans more than 1.2 million acres, is home to more than 500 species plants and trees. But, Arkansas is more than just trees and plants. This southern state is home to more natural resources than you would think! Petroleum and natural gas, bromine and silica stone, and about 90 percent of all domestic Bauxite (from which aluminum is made) comes from this state.

Locum Tenens Overview: California

The first Spanish missionaries arrived in California in the 1700s, but California didn’t become a U.S. territory until 1847, as part of the treaty ending the Mexican-American War.

North and South Dakota became official states in 1889- at the same exact time. As the 39th and 40th states to join the union, there was some competition about who would be first. To quell any arguments, President Benjamin Harrison shuffled the statehood papers before signing them and ensured that no one recorded the order. Officially, we don’t know which state was first- but since N comes before S in alphabetical order, North Dakota technically has the honor of being the 39th state.
