The United States became "The United States of America" in two early and notable places. The first place is in the Declaration of Independence where it was written "united States of America". This document was adopted on July 4, 1776. The other notable moment is in the adoption of the Articles of Confederation on November 15, 1777. The following line can be found in these articles:

"The Stile [sic] of this Confederacy shall be 'The United States of America.'"

Thomas Paine was the originator of the title.

The United States as we now know it (with 50 states) happened with the admittance of Hawaii on August 21, 1959.

United States for formed in the year 1789.

A country of central and northwest North America with coastlines on the Atlantic and Pacific oceans. It includes the noncontiguous states of Alaska and Hawaii and various island territories in the Caribbean Sea and Pacific Ocean. The area now occupied by the contiguous 48 states was originally inhabited by numerous Native American peoples and was colonized beginning in the 16th century by Spain, France, the Netherlands, and England. Great Britain eventually controlled most of the Atlantic coast and, after the French and Indian Wars (1754–1763), the Northwest Territory and Canada. The original Thirteen Colonies declared their independence from Great Britain in 1776 and formed a government under the Articles of Confederation in 1781, adopting (1787) a new constitution that went into effect after 1789. -
