one hundred years ago,in 1904...

the american flag had 45 stars. arizona, oklahoma, new mexico, hawaii, and alaska hadn't been admitted to the union yet.

The population of las Vegas, nevada, was 30.

sure,i knew hawaii and alaska were the last states admitted to the union,but i didn't know that arizona,oklahoma,and new mexico weren't part of the union then. wow.

got this info from a post on fortysomething.
