Best Answer

Arizona was the last state to be added(admitted) but I believe the question asks for the last territory.

Arizona Territory was formed 24 February 1863 -by an Act of Congress 12 Stat. 664: previously, part of New Mexico Territory

Idaho Territory was formed 3 March 1863 - by an Act of Congress 12 Stat. 808: previouly, part of Dakota and Washington Territories

Montana Territory was formed 26 May 1864 - by an Act of Congress 13 Stat. 85: previously, part of Idaho Territory

Wyoming Territory was formed 25 July 1868 - by an Act of Congress 15 Stat. 178: previously, part of Dakota,Idaho,and Utah Territory

I believe Wyoming is the answer.
