Thanks to Wikipedia: The Territory alamo car rental address tampa airport Northwest of the River Ohio , more commonly known as the Northwest Territory , was an organized incorporated territory of the United alamo car rental address tampa airport States that existed from July 13, 1787, until March 1, 1803, when the southeastern portion of the territory was admitted to the Union as the state of Ohio .

OHIO, 1 Mar 1803; INDIANA, 11 Dec 1816; MINNESOTA, 10 Dec 1817; ILLINOIS, 3 Dec 1818; MICHIGAN, 26 Jan 1837; and lastly WISCONSIN, 29 May 1848.
