On what date did Idaho become a U.S. state?
Note
July 3, 1890 is the correct choice. Idaho joined the Union on July 3, 1890; its territory had been established in 1863.
Idaho Territory was created in 1863; the territorial capital moved from Lewiston to Boise in 1864; Idaho became the 43rd state in 1890. Territorial, state, county, federal, and tribal governments are distinct institutions with different legal responsibilities.
