Where it sits in time
Five thousand years, 3000 BCE to 2026; the state in gold.
How it ended, as its article says
Dissolved, 1883. Read from the article's section “lead” by its grammar; the claim is only that the article says so.
After unification with the neighbouring State of Goshen, it became the United States of Stellaland (Dutch: Verenigde Staten van Stellaland) from 1883 until 1885, when it was abolished and annexed by the British.
