Established in 1853, Washington remained a Territory for 36 years until admitted into the Union in 1889. Divided by the Cascade Range and lacking an effective internal transportation system, Washington Territory made no practical sense as a political and economic entity until railroads finally unified the region in the mid 1880s. Ficken's Washington Territory will long serve as the definitive economic and political history of territorial Washington.
