The territory was purchased on April 16, 1867 from Russia. Alaska was made the 49th state on January 3, 1959. Alaska is not bordered by any other state. Nearly 500 miles of Canadian land separates Alaska from Washington State. The state capital is Juneau which you can only reach by ship or air travel.
