Idaho became part of Oregon and Washington territories. After Oregon became a state, boundaries were redrawn and in 1859 both parts of Idaho were reunited. In 1863, it became Idaho Territory and then a state in 1890.

1846
One of the states formed from the Oregon Country is Oregon itself. Oregon was established as a state in 1859 as part of the Compromise of 1850, splitting from the larger Oregon Territory. The territory was initially jointly occupied by the United States and Britain until a boundary was established at the 49th parallel in the Oregon Treaty of 1846, paving the way for Oregon's statehood.
The United States annexed Texas.
Polk's expansionist policies in the Oregon Territory led to a treaty with Britain in 1846 that set the boundary between the United States and Canada at the 49th parallel. This secured the territory for the United States and avoided potential conflict with Britain.
