United States Territories

For the region within an animal brain sometimes known as "insular area", see Insular cortex.An insular area is United States territory that is neither a part of one of the fifty states nor a part of the District of Columbia, the nation's federal district.Because those insular areas that are inhabited are unincorporated territories, their native-born inhabitants are not constitutionally entitled to United States citizenship under the Citizenship Clause. However, Congress has extended citizenship rights to all inhabited territories with the exception of American Samoa, and these citizens may vote and run for office in any U.S. jurisdiction in which they are resident. Residents of American Samoa are U.S. nationals, but not U.S. citizens; they are free to move around and seek employment within the whole United States without immigration restrictions, but cannot vote or hold office outside of American Samoa.

This article is about the individual political entities currently or formerly called "United States territories" For the various forms of the jurisdiction of the United States, see United States territory.Territories of the United States are one type of political division of the United States, administered by the U.S. government but not any part of a U.S. state. These territories were created to govern newly acquired land while the borders of the United States were still evolving. Territories can be classified by whether they are incorporated (part of the United States proper) and whether they have an organized government (through an Organic Act passed by the U.S. Congress). The organized incorporated territories of the United States existed from 1789 to 1959, through which 31 territories applied for and won statehood. The U.S. had no unincorporated territories (also called "overseas possessions" or "insular areas") until 1898, but continues to control several of them today.
