Throughout American history, many proposed states aimed to expand the U.S. beyond its current 50, with efforts to approve at least 62 states discussed.
In 1859, the state of Jefferson was proposed from parts of Kansas, supported by mining communities, but lack of agreement on a constitution led to its disbandment.
The Delmarva proposal aimed to unite portions of Delaware, Maryland, and Virginia, yet it was never formally considered by Congress, exemplifying the challenges of statehood.
Absaroka was a proposed secession area involving parts of Wyoming, Montana, and South Dakota. Although it garnered interest, no formal vote occurred for statehood.
