Minnesota Territory was established in 1849, including the whole present-day State and the Dakotas generally east of the Missouri River. 
1850 : coverage of Minnesota Territory did not extend beyond the present State except for a few settlers near the Red River in what is now North Dakota.		 Minnesota was admitted as a State on May 11, 1858 with essentially its present boundaries. 

1860 : the census covered virtually the whole State.
