<div id="ygrps-yiv-207064268">There were a lot more tripoints after this occurred. I believe Freeborn<br/>
County is in Minnesota. However, by the time NM was in there were 47 States,<br/>
since Wyoming and Oklahoma had been admitted earlier.<br/>

Clipping of the Day<br/>
<blockquote><span title="ireply"> &gt;From the Freeborn County Standard, 3 December 1885, page 6:<br/>
<br/>
 </span></blockquote>There are six new states, perhaps seven, to be carved out of the present<br/>
Territories before many years: Dakota, Montana, New Mexico, Utah, Idaho, and<br/>
Washington. The date of their admission will depend more upon the pleasure<br/>
of Congress. When these are States, there will be forty-four States in the<br/>
Union. If Dakota is divided, there will be forty-five.</div>
