Top 10 Most Boring U.S. States

1. Arkansas

   

   Arkansas is a state located in the southeastern region of the United States. Its name is of Siouan derivation, denoting the Quapaw Indians. Arkansas features diverse geography, including mountains, forests, and the Mississippi River.

   Very rural state, no major cities, just a bunch of woods and empty farms. It's a pretty state, but most people just go to church or eat fast food.

   I'll give Arkansas this. If you're a redneck who's stuck in the 60's this is heaven

2. Iowa

   

   Iowa is a U.S. state in the Midwestern United States, bordered by the Mississippi River to the east and the Missouri River and Big Sioux River to the west. The state has historically played a key role in U.S. presidential elections because its caucuses traditionally opened the primary season, although... read more

   Most dull--- no well known landmarks or aspects-----naturally, athletically, culturally, socially, financially.

   Very prosaic state; however, people are relatively nice.

   It's literally cornfields, unless you move to a big city. Nothing really there, if you want something similar to Iowa, move to Ohio.

   Boring state full of cornfields and really small towns. Kinda conservative, kinda white bread. What do people do for fun here?

3. Oklahoma

   

   Oklahoma is a state in the South Central region of the United States. It shares borders with Texas, Kansas, Missouri, Arkansas, New Mexico, and Colorado. The state has a strong Native American presence and is known for its oil and gas industry and severe weather, particularly tornadoes.

   Boring state. OKC and Tulsa are boring cities. Not a lot of beautiful nature besides Eastern Oklahoma, people are nice, but its still pretty conservative and backwards here

   Nothing better to do than smoke hang out at well sites

4. North Dakota

   

   North Dakota is the 39th state of the United States, having been admitted to the Union on November 2, 1889. It is located in the Upper Midwest and is bordered by Canada to the north. The state has a strong agricultural base and a growing energy sector, particularly in oil and natural gas.

   Cold, empty, and rural. Really small towns. Pretty conservative, they are afraid of anything outside their norm.

5. Nebraska

   

   Nebraska is a state that lies in both the Great Plains and the Midwestern United States. Its state capital is Lincoln. The state's economy is largely based on agriculture, especially corn and cattle, and it is also known for its role in U.S. westward expansion.

   It's saving grace is that it has a big city (Omaha) and a nice college town (Lincoln) and West Nebraska has beautiful nature and outdoor scenery.

6. Kansas

   

   Kansas is a state in the Midwestern United States. It is named after the Kansa Native American people, who inhabited the area. Kansas is known for its agricultural output, especially wheat production, and for its historical significance in the pre-Civil War conflict known as Bleeding Kansas.

   If you think where you're from is bland and dull, then you haven't had to drive throughout this state while traveling. I've been everywhere, Kansas is for sure the most exhausting.

   Nebraska at least has many beautiful areas of the state to see with landscapes and isn't so flat, dull, and average looking like Kansas is.

   This is why the state of Kansas attempts to claim Kansas City MO. They know their state is terrible

7. Kentucky

   

   Kentucky, officially the Commonwealth of Kentucky, is a state located in the East South Central region of the United States. It is bordered by seven states, with Illinois, Indiana, and Ohio to the north, West Virginia and Virginia to the east, Tennessee to the south, and Missouri to the west. Known for... read more

8. Wyoming

   You know, it doesn't matter how many escalaters it has, but the people that live there. Wyoming is beautiful, and has very nice people that live there. I love the bighorns, and there aren't taxes on food and other items! Wyoming is truly good living

   It's definitely not that state that everyone dreams of going to but it's not that boring there are really good sights to see and fun things to do. It's really not as bad as people say

   Wyoming is not boring. It's very interesting in Wyoming. Maybe it's because of population

    No city literally the highest thing I've seen is their mall the most tech savvy thing there is McDonald's everything is is stuck on the VHS tape era

    Delaware is one of the Mid-Atlantic states located in the Northeast megalopolis region of the United States. It was the first state to ratify the U.S. Constitution on December 7, 1787. Delaware is known for its business-friendly corporate laws and numerous incorporated companies.

    Delaware isn't even famous for anything. It doesn't register on the meter at all because nobody knows anything about it. At least Wyoming has Yellowstone, North Dakota has oil, and Nebraska has Warren Buffett.

    Delaware is not boring! Just because its small, it doesn’t mean it’s boring. Every year my family and I go to the beach here and it’s so nice and beautiful. The beaches there are underrated so there isn’t many tourists there so there is plenty room on the beach. The beach towns are so fun with the boardwalks and the little shops and reasutrants. The marshes there are also gorgeous there and the air always smells like salt water which you know your at the beach.

14. Vermont

    

    Vermont is a state in the New England part of the northeastern region of the United States. It is the second least populous state in the country, after Wyoming, and is known for its forested natural beauty and progressive politics.... read more

    Alcoholics Anonymous was started here for a reason. Nothing is open past 10pm. Living here is like watching paint dry. Your options are drugs, alcohol, suicide, or moving.

    I believe this place is pretty amazing, despite the fact that it is mainly trees, mountians, and broken down houses. Like Burlington is pretty lit

    Nothing but trees, mountains, and broken down houses!

    Alaska has so much more to offer than some of the other rural states I can't see how it makes a boring list. I suppose these are big city dwellers. When did earthquakes become boring?

    Alaska is so boring! It is the worst state because it has the most earthquakes from 1974-2003!

    Alaska is boring because there are so many earthquakes there!

    I have tried to make the best of it to no avail. A ton of restaurants to choose from is the only positive. Unless you live and die for the Buckeye's don;t bother with this state.

    Florida is a state located in the southeastern region of the United States. It is the southeasternmost U.S. state, with the Atlantic Ocean on one side and the Gulf of Mexico on the other. Florida is known for its warm climate, tourism industry, and diverse population.

    There's a lot of things to do in Florida other than going to the beaches and going to amusement parks. Visit some of the old dead towns in the Panhandle, try photography, bird-watching, trainspotting, cycling. Once you step outside, the sky is the limit.

    Why isn't this near the number 1? The only places you can really go without dying are small towns.

26. Connecticut

    

    Connecticut is the southernmost state in the New England region of the United States. It is known for its rich colonial history, affluent suburbs, and prestigious universities, including Yale University.

    Connecticut also has a diverse economy rooted in finance, insurance, and manufacturing. The... read more

    There are things to do in CT. It is a pretty run down looking state after having lived in NC. Greensboro, NC, which is hardly a sophisticated place, makes parts of CT look downright demilitarised. It's simply not a very lively place. people are very standoffish and unfriendly in general, nobody likes to talk. Very unhappy place. It's the only place I've ever lived where people stop speaking when you pass them on a bike trail, tense as hell, then resume their convos as if you are contagious. people here are guarded and the pace of life is quick, they think they are New Yorkers. There is very little sense of community and people here seem really mentally ill, they stare at you like you are a ghost. A lot of them will rant and rave about things but seem to have zero sense of humour. I've found too many people here to be arrogant yet insecure at the same time and most of them just like to make money. I'd rather live in the bible belt again than in CT, which is saying a lot because I'm not particularly religious. CT has a weird inferiority complex about it. Is it the worst place on earth? No, but it's provincial and seems like a dying place.

27. Minnesota

    

    Minnesota is a state in the Midwestern United States. It was admitted as the 32nd state on May 11, 1858, created from the eastern portion of the Minnesota Territory.

    I live here, not boring, look at the south who wants summer year round, at least we can handle the cold

    Definitely NOT! I play hockey so I want to move here. Probably because of the cold
