Top 10 Most Interesting States

The Top Ten
1 California California is a state in the Southwestern United States. With 39.6 million residents across a total area of about 163,696 square miles (423,970 square kilometers), California is the most populous U.S. state and the third-largest by area. The state capital is Sacramento, and the largest city is Los Angeles.

It's a big state with a lot to do. Beaches, mountains, deserts, farmland, forests...alot of cool cities like San Diego, San Francisco, and Los Angeles. It is expensive and the people are fake, but I prefer Northern California because its pretty chill, has nice scenery, and it's not an ugly desert like a lot of California

I am a Floridian, and I have to admit California's got more stuff. We might have more theme parks, but all there pretty much is in terms of natural scenery is trees, swamps, and boring expanses of flat land. California has desert, snow capped mountains, beaches, fields, scenic rocky coastlines... Plus, CA has theme parks too, as well as an even stronger tech, entertainment, business, trade, and culture scene than Florida does. It has been the forefront of America for many years.

I love my state. It has so much to do. I admit, it doesn't have enough wildlife and wilderness, and the food is the definition of America ( pizza, hamburgers, etc ) but there's so much to do so much fun, and lots of beaches, restaurants, and parks! Not to mention we have the most famous Hollywood!

I love California because it has the most palm trees, the most beautiful and the highways. California is great like New York. New York City is large like Los Angeles.

2 Hawaii Hawaii is the 50th and most recent state of the United States of America, receiving statehood on August 21, 1959.

It's a beautiful state, its a chain of islands in the middle of the pacific ocean. Each island has its own unique culture. Honolulu is the only city and its pretty chill. Theres the rainforest, beautiful beaches, and good food. The people are kinda friendly, but they don't really like rich whities exploiting the island.

My wife and I honeymooned there, and it is beautiful. The only downsides are it is expensive, there are many tourist traps, and the biggest negative is that it's so far away from everything and so hard to get there. Once you're there you'll have a wonderful time, but you have to save for it.

It is beautiful and amazing. I love the islands and the volcanoes. They make really good coffee, too. I would recommend the Bad Ass Coffee Company to anyone thinking of traveling to Maui.

I cackled when I saw this. Hawaii is just another tourist trap, in reality. It's corrupt, underdeveloped and not cool at all. It's hot and humid very often, which is sometimes really fatal!

3 Florida Florida is a state located in the southeastern region of the United States. Florida is the southeasternmost U.S. state, with the Atlantic on one side and the Gulf of Mexico on the other.

Florida is a crazy swamp full of alligators, snowbirds, and old people, + crazy people. Cool cities are Miami, Orlando (Disneyland), and Tampa. The nature is really beautiful, but it also gets really hot and theres alot of bugs. Watch out for alligators, they might wanna eat you

A LOT of things happen in Florida, you'll know just by typing in "Florida memes" or "Florida man" Anyways, I know what Florida is like personally since I live there, and it's pretty interesting! If you like Disney, humid weather, beaches, alligators, or oranges then definitely come over! In all seriousness though, I only like alligators and orange juice which is why I go to Busch Gardens and Publix. And that's also why I live in the city. I live in Tampa, by the way

I live in Florida and sometimes I go to the beach and it's insanely fun, I like to bodysurf and your children (or you, your never too young I say) Can build sand castles, and overall it's cool, just remember "respect the ocean" if you go to far out and your not a really, REALLY good swimmer then the tides might wipe you out.

Yeah sure, Florida is pretty interesting. Daily headlines like "Headless Body Found in Florida Topless Bar" are a common occurrence. If its weird and interesting, it probably happened in Florida.

4 Virginia Virginia, officially the Commonwealth of Virginia, is a state located in the South Atlantic region of the United States.

Pretty state, underrated, has a lot of history. Northern Virginia has the DC suburbs, but theres a lot of nice mountains, hills, and forests. Virginia Beach is really nice. The weather is usually good, fall is beautiful, but it gets really hot and sticky in the summer

First of all, it has a lot of history. Second, it's my home state Third, the beach is amazing

There is so much American history in Virginia!

It is where George Washington is from.

5 Texas Texas is a state in the Southern USA. It is the second largest by area and population. Its largest city is Houston.

Texas is huge so it offers alot. Best cities are Austin, Dallas, and maybe San Antonio. Houston is kind of gross. Texas has beaches, deserts, mountains, forests, farmland, tons of ranches. It's kind of conservative, but more progressive in the bigger cities

Texas has been under 6 flags: Spain, France, Mexico, the Republic of Texas, the CSA, and USA. Fascinating history!

And Texas is arguably the most cultured state, with the best BBQ, sports, and Texas-sized state pride, (bigger and better). Texas is extremely religious and Conservative, with pretty much only Austin being the only dominantly liberal city.

The Lone Star States has no state income tax- only on the local and federal level. Texas is business friendly and great for home owners.

Not to mention Texas is the only state to have a power grid that doesn't connect with other states and some of the largest oil reservoirs in the U.S.

Texas has deserts, giant metropolises, beaches, plains and even pine tree forests, giving everyone a place to visit. From Houston to Big Bend, or from the Alamo to the State Fair, the second largest state has a lot to offer.

Interesting? Of course. Look over there, there's a hurricane, and up there we have a blizzard and oh look a few tornadoes. Hope you don't mind those floods.

But seriously, Texas has a lot of interesting history and dozens of unique festivals and cities. We might not have the most original names for the cities, but Bacon and Orange are pretty funny to see on a map.

Just remember to be polite to those guys in the cowboy hats and boots because they almost always have a gun and they don't give warning shots.

What I love about Texas mostly is it's people; they are kind, friendly and very caring people. I have never seen these many charities (non-profit), community type, that help each others in so many ways, compare to other states. Love Texas, God bless TX and bless America

6 New York New York is a state located in the Mid-Atlantic Region. New York was one of the original thirteen colonies that formed the United States. With an estimated 19.54 million residents in 2018, it is the fourth most populous state. In order to distinguish the state from the city with the same name, it is sometimes referred to as New York State.

New York is more then New York City, they have beaches, farmland, forests, tons of lakes, they have it all. Upstate is really beautiful and close to Canada but it also gets really cold. People are nicer in upstate, and they have better drivers

Best state to live in! You can have best of both worlds, the city life and subarban life. There's so much diversity and an amazing state to either raise a family or live and experience life on your own.

If we could get rid of Andy Cuomo, it would be better here.

New York is the top best, ti is so awesome there!

7 Massachusetts Massachusetts, officially the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, is the most populous state in the New England part of the northeastern region of the United States.

Best state in the country! Beaches, mountains, cities, beautiful towns, rich history, sail towns, Nantucket, Martha's Vineyard, Cliff Beaches on the Cape, Boston alone...

You go from the wealthiest of the wealthy to blue collar working man towns.

Best state hands down.

I live here, and I see new stuff legit everyday! Its especially amazing going on field trips, because they take you to some cool places (JFK library, Science Museum, Duck Tours, etc).

Boston has everything! It's just plain nice there, so I would say Massachusetts is pretty good!

Knew someone from MA once. From what I knew, it was really interesting.

8 Maryland Maryland is a state located in the Mid-Atlantic region of the United States, bordering Virginia, West Virginia, Pennsylvania, Delaware, and Washington, D.C.

It's the most unique state in the United States of America. Oh, and Washington D.C. is located withing Maryland's (and Virginia's) soil/land. And the most important of all of Maryland: Chesapeake Blue Crabs.

Washington D.C. is located in Maryland's soil. Plus, the state flag is distinguishable.

Maryland, you can do it, I can stop Hawaii from being the most interesting state!

Maryland rocks the most, and I want Maryland in 1st place, not Hawaii!

9 Vermont

Pretty state, kinda small, gets kinda boring, cause the towns are so small. Burlington is an okay college town, has beautiful lakes, farms, and outdoor activities. Other towns are Rutland (Roughland) a really small capital called Montpelier, and Bennington and Brattleboro.

Okay... the history of Vermont is pretty cool. We were the first state after the thirteen colonies and were fought over by New York and New Hampshire. Also REAL MAPLE SYRUP!

I live in Vermont and all there is are mountains, grass, and trees. The only cool city is Burlington.

Vermont is boring

10 Arizona Arizona is a U.S. state in the southwestern region of the United States. It is also part of the Western and the Mountain states.

Beautiful state, more then desert and the Grand Canyon. Has lake Havasu, Flagstaff is great, Sedona is cool, cool towns by the Mexican border, good Mexican food, Tucson is okay, not a fan of Phoenix area

Wow! I jave lived in Arizona for my whole life! I t is amazing. So much mountains and canyons and deserts. It has a lot of Wild West features like the town of Tombstone. And the Grand Canyon is spectacular. If you have ever been to the Grand Canyon you know what I mean. It is the best of the best. I am so glad Arizona is on this list! It would even be better if it were higher. Another thing is education. Arizona has some of the best education in the US. Awesome, awesome, and awesome. If you are thinking about moving to a different state, Arizona is your best bet. Go AZ!

I am from here and I love it! But I noticed most people were commenting on the features like Grand Canyon, mountains, etc. This is very cool, but also notice that cities in Arizona like Phoenix are absolutely awesome. Most people think of Arizona as an undeveloped desert, but when you get into the city part of it, it is very similar to LA or Chicago just less skyscrapers and slightly smaller.

I live here and there is so much to do and to love in this wonderful state and all my friends that come and visit love this state!

The Contenders
11 South Carolina South Carolina is a state in the southeastern region of the United States. The state is bordered to the north by North Carolina, to the south and west by Georgia across the Savannah River, and to the east by the Atlantic Ocean.

It's amazing here! I've grown up here and I'd say it's the place to be. From our great outdoors to just staying inside to enjoy some country cooking! I love South Carolina

This place is probably one of the best places to go on vacation. There is always something to do in South Carolina.

It might be cool to see my cousins!

An awesome state

12 Georgia Georgia is a state located in the southeastern United States. It was established in 1732, the last of the original Thirteen Colonies.

Georgia has the kindest people and it has all four regions. Its like a mini country with beaches, mountains, plains, and valleys all in one state. Plus there are big cities and small towns where everyone knows one another and takes care of each other. The house prices are great and the movie industry is growing extremely fast.It is also a great place to have a small business because it is easy to get your name around a small town. You often see movie stars walking around, The Walking Dead is filmed here (in Senoia) and it is a great place to live.

S.A.V.A.N.N.A.H. Most gorgeous city ever, literally, so perfect. LOOK UP SAVANNAH, GEORGIA. You will not be disappointed. SO BEAUTIFUL! #1 place I'd recommend to visit. So charming and fun. It's also a very old city, so it's one of the most haunted cities in America, which is amazing. If you are looking for a beach getaway, just drive on over to Tybee Island, just about 20 minutes away. It is also very gorgeous.

Redneck country? Wow, who could resist seeing a thousand Larry the Cable Guys running around?

Ga has the great ability of having major cities and then a couple hours away redneck country. It's awesome.

13 Delaware Delaware is one of the Mid-Atlantic states located in the Northeast megalopolis region of the United States.

Deleware is the first state. They are home to coasts to the Atlantic Ocean and historic site after historic site! My ancestors imigrated to deleware from Denmark in 1641 but they eventually moved to Indiana. Deleware deserves it's position on the top 20 states list.

Best state ever!

14 Washington Washington is a state in the Pacific Northwest region of the United States located north of Oregon, west of Idaho, and south of the Canadian province of British Columbia on the coast of the Pacific Ocean. It is the only state named after a president.

We have the only tropical rainforest in the northern hemisphere, plenty of scenic mountains, the emerald city (seattle), and balanced weather (guys it isn't ALWAYS raining)

Washington has the most beautiful land I have ever seen and Seattle(the biggest state in Washington)has the amazing space needle! I love the state of Washington so much!

Beautiful mountains, gorgeous waters. Green and friendly.

We have stuff, I guess.

15 Kentucky Kentucky, officially the Commonwealth of Kentucky, is a state located in the east south-central region of the United States.

Kentucky is very interesting. It has the largest cave in the world, good food, and some great attractions.

16 Alabama Alabama is a state located in the southeastern region of the United States. It is bordered by Tennessee to the north, Georgia to the east, Florida and the Gulf of Mexico to the south, and Mississippi to the west.

I love Gulf Shores! I absolutely love it! The beaach is to die for and is an amazing sight! There is so much to do and the whole family would love it! I totaly reccomened this as a future summer trip! If you can, I love jet skiing! You might get to see some dolphins!

There are so many attractions and so much historical sites in Alabama. The weather is great all year round and we love football!

People who say Alabama sucks. Have obviously never been to Alabama.

Alabama is the best, It has all four ecosystems! It is awesome here!

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

Ah yes, my home state. The lakes are beautiful, the winters can be long but they're fun f you get into skiing or snowmobiling. And there isn't a state with a better summer or fall. Minnesota also has more history than you might think. The north shore of Lake Superior is full of old fur trapping headquarters and Native American forts. The "little house on the prairie", of Laura Ingalls Wilder fame, is near the town of Walnut Grove, and there are historical markers all along the Great River Road, along the Mississippi in the southeast part of the state. Minnesota has also become very diverse racially and elected Keith Ellison, the first ever Muslim member of Congress. We were also the first state to vote against the "marriage is only between a man and a woman" resolution. So we're an historic state already, and becoming more so all the time.

Cities are great! Duh, you can be near the cities and still enjoy the peace and quite by the lakes. We're great drivers and don't have as much road rage (people, take a darn chill pill! )! Lakes every where. You don't have to worry about wearing a coat in 60 degree weather; I mean come on people. Not to mention our activities! Skiing, for the winter, plenty of lakes to ice skate on, hockey dominates in Minnesota. Valley Fair - Nickolodean Universe - MOA - Lutsen Ski Hills (best in the Midwest). Great cities like St Cloud, Duluth, Redwing, and Waconia, no other place has that name look it up, we are one of a kind. Also we take pride in our state as well as we are nice. Best education, and hardly any poverty. And ok I understand Viking's and Twins are not the best, but you got to have faith and we love them anyway.

There is a lake every square mile. There are more different fish species in Minnesota than any other state. People are very happy up here. We are used to the cold and can still go to work or school with a foot of snow without a problem. Very safe and the people are very friendly. We do not have very many big cities, which makes it a great place to come if you want to escape the concrete jungle for a while.

Land of 10, 000 Lakes, Star of the North, home of the Lynx (WNBA champions).
We also have good school systems. Music is really important, a band from, I think it's called Waseca gets invited to play at Disneyland every 4 years.

18 Ohio Ohio is a state in the midwestern region of the United States. Ohio is the 34th largest by area, the 7th most populous, and the 10th most densely populated of the 50 United States.

Seven presidents came from Ohio, the Wright Brothers, Football Hall of Fame, Cedar Point: the number 1 Amusement Park in the world for 16 years in a row, Kellys Island, Kings Island and so much more! Vote Ohio!

My hometown, very productive. Has the Ohio and Erie canal. Without Ohio many people wouldn't have survived

Football hall of fame

Ohio is the best!

19 Nevada Nevada is a state in the Western, Mountain West, and Southwestern regions of the United States of America.

Nevada contains some two of the most naughty and awesome cities to party DOWN! Las Vegas and Reno
Outside those two cities is nothing but endless majestic desert that feels like divine freedom, like you're riding through the old west.
Hands down underrated state.

Nevada has a city called Las Vegas that is large and has great hotels like planet Hollywood and most of Nevada is covered by dessert but at least is great.

Funny how the most interesting parts are the parts where only 15% of the people live. Look up "Bullfrog County".

Vegas is awesome

20 Oregon Oregon is a state in the Pacific Northwest region of the United States. Oregon is bordered on the west by the Pacific Ocean, on the north by Washington, on the south by California, on the east by Idaho, and on the southeast by Nevada.

The coast is beautiful!

Oregon has many interesting features, including the Oregon Trail

21 New Hampshire

Democrat one year. Republican the next year. Many independent voters irregardless of their party affiliation. Just over 1 million population and barely growing.

N. H, love it.39,000 troops sent in the civil war. I'm a New Hampshirese so I love it here. A lot of things to do here.

Hurry need it now

22 Indiana

So, lived in many states, including NW Indiana. Most people who love it, never lived anywhere else. Favorite pastime: Drinking. Why, because there is nothing to do. I love the ocean, fresh seafood and snowcapped mountains. West Coast has it all. The only thing good about NW Indiana is that it's close to Chicago (yes, a different state). Not a fan KKK presents, either. Being partial to the Left Coast, I'm not used to these attitudes. The small towns name their business with K's to show Klan loyalty..Koby's Kuntry Kitchen and Klassy Karl's Kar-shop.
This isn't just a guess, I know this. Indianapolis is where the KKK originated. That said, I love the people have huge families that are very close. That's where all my extended family lives and for that reason, Indiana gets a pass from me!

I've lived in Indiana for three years, it's boring, it's so boring it makes the small southern country states look intelligent & interesting. Drinking & drugging are the past time, but the senior citizens love their corn fields & their old fashioned racists ways. I can't wait to get out of Indiana.

I live in Northwest Indiana by Lake Michigan. It's really nice to live by the beach. Everything south of Indianapolis is really boring though, I've driven through there to get to Tennessee. Also in NW Indiana it's a 40 minute drive to Chicago, so it's pretty cool.

Honestly, how did Indiana make it on this list? I live in Indiana and let me tell ya, all we have is corn fields. No kidding. Indianapolis is pretty great I guess, but really!? Indiana is really nothing special.

23 Montana Montana is a state in the Western region of the United States. The state's name is derived from the Spanish word montaƱa.
24 New Jersey New Jersey is a state in the northeastern and mid-Atlantic regions of the United States. It is bordered on the north and east by New York, on the southeast and south by the Atlantic Ocean, on the west by Pennsylvania, and on the southwest by Delaware.

Used to be the Garden State, now it is the Garbage State. I used to see on the country's notorious land fills from my front steps.

New Jersey has many beautiful spots, like sunfish pond a natural Glacier made lake, Pine Barrens, and much more

25 North Carolina North Carolina is a state in the southeastern region of the United States. The state borders South Carolina and Georgia to the south, Tennessee to the west, Virginia to the north, and the Atlantic Ocean to the east.

The Best state in US... weather is just perfect, state of beautiful mountains and romantic beaches
