According to the Library of Congress, Minnesota became the 32nd state admitted into the Union on May 11, 1858. Minnesota's application for statehood was submitted to President James Buchanan in January, but became entangled with the controversial issue of Kansas statehood, delaying it for several months until it was finally approved by Congress.
