when did the virgin islands officially become a us territory?
1936
in 1917 a treaty was concluded in which the united states purchased the islands for $25,000,000 (about $390,000,000 in 2010 dollars). after the united states bought what is now known as the united states virgin islands from the danish, the islands officially became an unincorporated u.s. territory in 1927. most residents were granted u.s. citizenship in 1936, and an act of 1932 provided that all natives of the virgin islands who on the date of the act were residing in the continental united states or any of its insular possessions or territories were u.s. citizens. the islands remained under the direct control of the u.s. government until 1968, when residents were first allowed to elect their own governor (previously, governors had been appointed first by the navy, then by the interior department). in 1972, residents elected their first non-voting delegate to congress.
