State of Lincoln

The state of Lincoln is one of several proposed states of the United States of America(see 51st state). It was to compose of the Panhandle of Idaho and Eastern Washington (that is, East of the Cascade Mountains). It was first proposed by Idaho in 1864, when the Capital was moved from Lewiston to its present-day location of Boise, which made governing the out of reach panhandle more difficult. The 1864 proposal was to make the panhandle its own state. This proposal failed, but in 1901 another proposal was made, this time to combine the Panhandle of Idaho with Eastern Washington to create the state of Lincoln, in honor of President Abraham Lincoln. From the Washington end, proposals have been made as recent as 1996, 1999, and 2005. Other than Lincoln, the names "Columbia" and "Eastern Washington" were proposed to be used for the state. A U.S. 51 star flag has been designed in case of a 51st state actually joining the United States. ...
