Alaska - 50 States - US Geography

Alaska became the 49th state on January 3rd, 1959. Its nickname is "The Last Frontier," because it's the last place in the United States with vast stretches of unsettled wilderness.
Our series of US geography videos "Visit the 50 States," gives you a little history and interesting facts about each state. For every state, you'll learn when it entered the Union, what's its motto, how did it get its nickname, and see what the flag, seal, and state capitol building all look like. We'll find the state capital on the map! There's also fun trivia - do you know the state tree, flower, and bird? Watch and find out!

Fun fact: Alaska is also the Easternmost state! Semisopochnoi Island is just past 0 longitude and is the eastern most point in all of the United States. Ironically it lies west of the westernmost point on the Aleutian island of Amatignak.
