The Dakota Question: Why Two States, and Does It Still Make Sense?

A Brief History of Division

North Dakota and South Dakota weren't always separate. From 1861 to 1889, they were simply "Dakota Territory"—a vast expanse of prairie, badlands, and Black Hills that stretched from Minnesota to Montana.

The split, when it came, was largely political. In 1889, the Republican-controlled Congress faced a dilemma: Dakota Territory was ready for statehood, but admitting it as a single state would add only two senators (likely Republican). Splitting it would add four. The math was compelling.
