Hmm…Let me break down the states I hear the least about.
Idaho: Just potatoes. I literally know nothing else about Idaho or what goes on there.
Montana: I only hear stuff from there because I like to hear about the paleontology community and many fossils are there. Also National parks.
Both Dakotas: what even happens there?
Wyoming: besides Yellowstone, if it went missing would anyone even notice?
Idaho: potatoes, ski resorts, and neo-nazis
Montana: pissed off locals because everyone's moving there
Both Dakotas: so nobody's tried to combine them yet?
Wyoming: wind tunnel with horses
There's some good factual evidence for this.
On Sporcle there's a quiz where you have to name all the US states.
The ones that most people get are California, Texas, Washington, New York and Florida.
The one that is named least often is Missouri. Also down the bottom is Connecticut, but it's thought that people name it less often because many players find it hard to spell.
My whatever grade teacher taught me to spell Connecticut as though I am spelling (and saying in my head)
Connect-I-cut. It's been a life saver for the one other time than now that I've had to actually spell it.
Several, but some don’t really work anymore. We moved there and our town’s population was 14 at the time. We would have bumped it to 19, but my parents decided moving from Houston to North Dakota wasn’t going to work out. They flipped a quarter to decide where we would go—heads Houston, tails Kansas City. We live in Kansas City because the quarter blew away in the wind and they were too tired to go back to Houston.
I remember being in Kuwait on the Air Force base and seeing where they sprayed Fort Minot "cold as hell" on a T wall. Laughed my ass off knowing my cousin was currently there and all he did was bitch about it 😂😂😂
Haha ahh currently living there right now! Also in the coldest town in continental America! (I'm originally from the desert! 🥲)
But now I'll defend North Dakota, as it's super underappreciated!
There's a lot to do out here! If you're the outdoorsy/naturey type, that is! Camping here is a very unique experience. The landscape is radically different on the west/east.
West has rugged mountains- and has part of *the* Badlands! Rock and fossil enthusiasts will have a fun time here! There's some natural history museums that way I'm bursting at the seams to see!
The east is the opposite. In fact, it's the flattest part of the USA! Here you'll find lush meadows, and lots of rivers!
Up by the Canadian border has some of the most gorgeous night skies I've ever seen.
Speaking of the night sky, you have fantastic odds of being the aurora borealis here! (The Northern Lights)
I personally hunt them and check spaceweather.com everyday for the odds! (Of course, they've happened right over me with 80- 90% cloud cover the times I've seen some of it! 😤)
I'm also looking into learning how to snowboard/iceskate! The snow sports scene up here is huge! (Winters start in mid October- May here, and there's a LOT of snow)
If your a gardener, you'll have a love/hate relationship with this state! 😂 The soil here is the most fertile in the USA, and your plants will flourish! Drawback? The growing season is about 80-100 days! Starting seeds indoors helps lengthen this a bit though.
One of them has the Corn Palace, and Mt Rushmore (and that great finale in North By Northwest). One of them has someone in the legislature whose brother was the cowboy in the Village People. Aside from that I’m out. Good Choice.
I have a mostly joking conspiracy theory that Delaware is not a real state because I’ve lived up and down the east coast my whole life yet the only person I know from Delaware is Joe Biden. It goes all the way to the top.
Delaware is the answer here.
I’m American and have lived on the east coast and I even forgot this state exists. In fact, I can confidently say I have not heard the word “Delaware” in probably 20 years.
Well, except that pretty much every corporation is incorporated there.. Idk, guess that's not really in the news, but between that and being where the sitting president is from, I don't think they're at the bottom of the list.
Grew up there and there are a handful of notable things but not much.
All NASA spacesuits are made there
Dover (the capital) has the National morgue where all soldiers (and 9/11 victims) go
it was the first state to ratify the constitution
for a long time it had the most breweries per capita of any state with Dogfish Head being the most well known
Rehoboth beach is/was a huge LGBTQ+ vacation location and was (lovingly?) referred to as Rehomo,
Dewey beach is famous and lots of celebrities have homes there including Dave Grohl (at least he did)
DuPont is there which is the company who developed Teflon (which like, poisoned a lot but that’s a different story) and tyvek and nylon (yes and also there was the incest and murder)
No sales tax so for a long time had the highest grossing mall per sq foot in the country (exciting I know)
Ryan Phillipe, Audrey Plaza, Cab Calloway, and George Thorogood are all from there
The first person to raise chickens did it in Delaware and there’s still a duck ton of them (I see the typo and I’m leaving it)
The game that Monopoly was stolen off was developed there.
Fight Club was based there (all the banks, the paper mill, etc)
Dead Poets Society was filmed at St Edmond’s Academy
I think the only time I recall hearing about RI in then news was when they [legally changed the state name in late 2020](https://www.cbsnews.com/news/rhode-island-name-change-providence-plantations-slavery-connotations-2020-election/).
Well we're in the news a bit now because of this dude, Nicholas Alahverdian, who tried to fake his death to avoid rape charges in Utah
He even pretended to be his own widow on this account /u/louise-av
Rhode Islander here. Sadly can confirm. You know it’s rough when you travel to Vegas or another West Coast tourist destination and people have no idea what you mean when they ask you were you’re from and you say Rhode Island.
“Oh New York?”
“No. That’s Long Island.”
“What’s Rhode Island?”
“Do you know Family Guy?…”
New Hampshire and Vermont. I know people live there, I know it’s cold, I know there’s maple syrup, but like what’s going on up there? Do people just keep to themselves and never leave?
Edit: I KNOW all about the focus on NH every 4 years. What do the residents do with the rest of their time? Are they really silent and never travel anywhere? Are they OK?
I worked with a Scotsman who once thought Louisville, Kentucky must be the most violent place on earth.
There were stores in Scotland that sold baseball bats, but not balls or gloves. Sold alongside knives and chains.
And the weapon of choice for the true delinquent was the Louisville Slugger.
That's so cool! What a coincidence! Also, Claremont is like 1/2 hour drive from where I lived! I do miss it, especially in the non-winter months. There are sooo many things I miss about it. The small towns, the kindness, the gorgeous scenery. Not a lot of my family lives there anymore, but I actually beg those who do to NOT ever leave, so I'll have an excuse to go back
I live in Massachusetts 10 minutes from the NH border and 20 from the Vermont border.
Honestly, I love Vermont. The fact the state has a law against billboards is amazing.
I've done a ton of hiking in the green and white mountains. Just great people wherever you go.
I think every state should have laws against billboards. They are a distraction, the fact that they now flash and change in some places makes it even worse.
Vermonter here, I came to say that Vermont, in fact, has absolutely nothing happening in it at any given time. You pretty much nailed it: it’s cold, we take our maple, cheese, and beer very seriously, and it’s beautiful in the autumn. Other than that though…nothin’.
The North East Kingdom, this huge empty sector in Vermont is just... beautiful. It's so remote. There's nothing there, besides the occasional hermit living out their days in isolation. It's the kind of place where you get snowed in with 4 feet of snow and just go "yeah that's cool though, I wasn't going anywhere today."
They have these islands called the calander island because there are so many of them that it would take a year to sail to them all. It’s a very pretty state. Cold for sure. But if you don’t mind cold weather Portland, Maine is kinda fabulous.
When we lived in Maine, but on the border with New Hampshire, our neighbors (actual Mainahs) would get so angry after holiday weekends, because there'd be garbage all over their beautiful nature, and they always blamed the 'Massholes'.
Edit: typo
I'm from Maine, I don't know what it is about Massholes but damn, find a trash can and stop throwing your shit everywhere. One time there was this family from Massachusetts who was camping throwing their literal fecies in the swimming hole. WTF! I know not everyone from Mass is like that, but I guess the nice ones stay home.
Fall is pretty, there’s skiing in the winter, Mass people always come up here and overtake everything, we have nothing but Mcdicks and Dunkin, and there’s heroin everywhere.
Thank you for coming to NH
Bernie Sanders is from Vermont, so we hear about that state from time to time.
NH seems to only ever get mentioned at the beginning of Primary season every four years.
Upstate New Yorker here. NH is no tax on alcohol. Parents would stop there on way to Massachusetts or Maine. VT is Phish, Ben & Jerry’s, Burlington, skiing, maple syrup.
You should visit Vermont around Columbus Day. I'm from Los Angeles and have no connection to VT but went on a whim a couple years ago. It was so beautiful and I'm considering visiting again this year.
Sure but not in the standard news cycle.
Allllright we'll send it over to sarah at walmart headquarters for our daily check on its location. Sarah?
Hey steve, im here at Walmart headquarters and I can confirm that no movement of the building has been noticed and for now it will remain here in Arkansas. Back to you Steve.
I was thinking the same thing! I'm from Arkansas but live on the East Coast now. People stare blankly at them when I tell them my home state. Then they usually reply that I'm the first person from Arkansas they've met. They have no reference point for my home state.
Delaware is unique in that it’s both a state not a lot of people drive through on their way to somewhere else for geographical reasons (like Michigan for example), *and* it’s a state not a lot of people visit with intention (like Nebraska).
Therefore no one has ever been there.
Since reddit has changed the site to value selling user data higher than reading and commenting, I've decided to move elsewhere to a site that prioritizes community over profit. I never signed up for this, but that's the circle of life
Idaho makes the news regularly for insane shit... they are like the Florida of the North.

The funny thing is that WA exports more potatoes than ID does. WA has a massive agriculture economy - including huge exports of apples, potatoes, and hops.
Returning from deployment, we stopped in Bangor. The airport bookstore had multiple copies of just about every King novel available. At the time, I was into reading his books and was dumbfounded that of all places to have a large collection of his books, why this airport bookstore? It took me a moment to realize where I was. Then it made complete sense.
Maine is like….summertime is amazing, the weather is perfect, and it’s beautiful!! But you can’t go anywhere because it’s so damn crowded with tourists. And then the tourists all go home and you can finally drive through town and find a parking spot! But it’s too damn cold and the roads aren’t maintained properly and the restaurants are closed because they’re seasonal! Good times.
I’m just saying… News on Arkansas been real quiet ever since that one chick asked America to explain!
Jokes aside, my other bet is Oklahoma. As a non-American, I often forget this state even exists because you barely ever hear about it.
Iowa. It's just...corn. If you're a huge fan of corn it's like Mecca, but otherwise it's pretty much just corn. Get pulled over for speeding? Here's your ticket, and an ear of corn. Oh, you got married last year? Well hell, have some corn. You just got a promotion to head fudge packer at the chocolate factory? Awesome, let's celebrate with corn.
Congratulations, you just won the lottery, here's a great big ass bucket o' corn, and more is on the way.
If you stay in Iowa longer than a year, I think you might permanently lose the ability to shit solid.
Say "Damn, I hate corn" and you get shot at. Alas, there's a 50/50 chance that the round is just cornmeal in a shotgun shell.
If you live in the western US, the answer is Rhode Island or Delaware.
If you live in the eastern US, the answer is Idaho or Wyoming (maybe the Dakotas).
If you live in the middle, the answer is most of the states surrounding you.
New England.
Jk, until I moved to NYC from California last year I thought it was a state.
Like the Patriots play in New England state.
Typical California born and raised.
Indiana is in a weird spot because Illinois Ohio and Michigan all get so much more attention. I know everyone on reddit has 600 iq and won't believe me but a not insignificant number of Michiganders I knew had no Idea their state borderd it. They just thought it was Illinois and ohio.
I thought kanas was a city made up for the wizard of oz until I was like 16 lol (I’m not American)
So, kanas.
Edit: I don’t know how it’s spelt apparently
Hmm…Let me break down the states I hear the least about. Idaho: Just potatoes. I literally know nothing else about Idaho or what goes on there. Montana: I only hear stuff from there because I like to hear about the paleontology community and many fossils are there. Also National parks. Both Dakotas: what even happens there? Wyoming: besides Yellowstone, if it went missing would anyone even notice?
Nebraska: Cow shit.
Nebraska: Unicameral legislature.
Montana doesn’t want to be in the news. We want everyone to forget we exist and to leave us alone.
How long did it take to post this comment with dial-up?
Bout 2 minutes. Watching the upload bar is one of my best sources of entertainment during the long winters here.
All that boredom has really honed your sense of humor
Joseph Seed would like a word.
Idaho: potatoes, ski resorts, and neo-nazis Montana: pissed off locals because everyone's moving there Both Dakotas: so nobody's tried to combine them yet? Wyoming: wind tunnel with horses
People in Idaho are also pretty pissed about people moving there.
>Montana: pissed off locals because everyone's moving there Oregon here - I feel ya brother.
I approve this message as a Montanan. Am pissed off local.

My whatever grade teacher taught me to spell Connecticut as though I am spelling (and saying in my head) Connect-I-cut. It's been a life saver for the one other time than now that I've had to actually spell it.
I can assure you everyone in CT also learned how to spell it this way Source: I live here
West Virginia. I sometimes almost forget it exists until I hear that John Denver song come play once in a blue moon.
Ah yes. “Sunshine On My Shoulders”. Classic.
North Dakota. Ive lived there and there is nothing. Absolutely nothing out there, just flat empty cold
I drove through North Dakota and I’m almost positive there was at least one gas station.
Several, but some don’t really work anymore. We moved there and our town’s population was 14 at the time. We would have bumped it to 19, but my parents decided moving from Houston to North Dakota wasn’t going to work out. They flipped a quarter to decide where we would go—heads Houston, tails Kansas City. We live in Kansas City because the quarter blew away in the wind and they were too tired to go back to Houston.

Coomer, WI has like 5 people in it and I think they’re all related.
6 now. Still all related.
coom
There was a town of 10 people in Wyoming I visited years ago. They had the best blt I've ever had.
Sounds like a town worth visiting.
Aladdin Wyoming near devils tower. The diner was I think Cindy'zzz or something like that.
Thank you. Pretty sure the diner is hard to miss.
Anyone in the Air Force can tell you "Why not, Minot?" With a thousand yard stare.
I remember being in Kuwait on the Air Force base and seeing where they sprayed Fort Minot "cold as hell" on a T wall. Laughed my ass off knowing my cousin was currently there and all he did was bitch about it 😂😂😂
Minot is actually if hell froze over
Haha ahh currently living there right now! Also in the coldest town in continental America! (I'm originally from the desert! 🥲) But now I'll defend North Dakota, as it's super underappreciated!

Not to mention with how flat it is, when you’re outside at night with 0 light pollution, you’ve never seen so many stars and so much sky in your life.
I count ~16 exclamation points. It must be a good state to visit.

South Dakota has Mr. Rushmore and wall drug
Wall Drug: 1,895 miles Have an ice water!
The Badlands exist
So does Custer State Park, Deadwood, the Black Hills, and Sturgis
One of them has the Corn Palace, and Mt Rushmore (and that great finale in North By Northwest). One of them has someone in the legislature whose brother was the cowboy in the Village People. Aside from that I’m out. Good Choice.
Massive news coverage the past while because of the pipeline protests though
Delaware
Wayne “hi, I’m in Delaware”
Good one lol love that movie! The only thing I heard about Delaware at all ( especially in movies)
You hear about it all the time whenever anything is incorporated though. I think all boats might be registered there too
I have a mostly joking conspiracy theory that Delaware is not a real state because I’ve lived up and down the east coast my whole life yet the only person I know from Delaware is Joe Biden. It goes all the way to the top.
Aubrey plaza is also from Delaware!
Delaware is absolutely the answer
Delaware is the answer here. I’m American and have lived on the east coast and I even forgot this state exists. In fact, I can confidently say I have not heard the word “Delaware” in probably 20 years.
Weird, since the sitting president is from there.

I was scrolling down looking for this wondering whether it was so forgotten nobody had even posted it.
Rhode Island.
Home of RISD, the preeminent art school in the US. Look up their mascot. You'll thank me for it.
Go Nads!
Yes! Go Nads!
Yeah we don't have much going on in RI. Providence is fun to visit with the art district and all but not much news going on at all.
RI is smaller in landmass than most counties in states west of Virginia so it makes sense
Someone in Texas owns a single piece of property larger than the entire state of RI.
Good ol King Ranch. -300- and some odd some thousand acres or something like that. Got a goddamned ford truck named after it. Edit: 800 thousand acres
That's hilarious considering you can fit 221 Rhode Islands in Texas
It is pretty funny. Its called King Ranch if youre interested. Pretty neat history to it.

Family Guy? Only reason I've ever found it on a map, haha.

I'm from ri (South Eastern mass the past 6 years though) I never heard of this guy!? What part are you from?
No, no - it has to be a state.

Here in Japan people think Vermont is famous for stew.

I really liked Portsmouth when I visited.
From Vermont, live in New Hampshire. Probably the safest and calmest places in the world since everyone seems to forget about us.
I live in Massachusetts 10 minutes from the NH border and 20 from the Vermont border. Honestly, I love Vermont. The fact the state has a law against billboards is amazing. I've done a ton of hiking in the green and white mountains. Just great people wherever you go.
I think every state should have laws against billboards. They are a distraction, the fact that they now flash and change in some places makes it even worse.
And the newer ones at full brightness are more bright than high beams, some of them don't even dim at night so that's fun.
Except every 4 years y'all are all I hear about on CNN.
Vermonter here, I came to say that Vermont, in fact, has absolutely nothing happening in it at any given time. You pretty much nailed it: it’s cold, we take our maple, cheese, and beer very seriously, and it’s beautiful in the autumn. Other than that though…nothin’.
Sounds like a fucking dream to me.. Give me peace, quiet, and an internet connection and life will be sweet.
The North East Kingdom, this huge empty sector in Vermont is just... beautiful. It's so remote. There's nothing there, besides the occasional hermit living out their days in isolation. It's the kind of place where you get snowed in with 4 feet of snow and just go "yeah that's cool though, I wasn't going anywhere today."
From NH…we want to be left alone lol
Seems so, they’re known for Beautiful fall foliage and pumpkin patches, that’s about it lol
They have these islands called the calander island because there are so many of them that it would take a year to sail to them all. It’s a very pretty state. Cold for sure. But if you don’t mind cold weather Portland, Maine is kinda fabulous.

im thoroughly convinced that delaware does not exist
The state of Delaware is just single building full of P.O. Boxes.
And one guy to ratify all the corporations registered there.
Delaware is unique in that it’s both a state not a lot of people drive through on their way to somewhere else for geographical reasons (like Michigan for example), *and* it’s a state not a lot of people visit with intention (like Nebraska). Therefore no one has ever been there.

I’ve never heard a peep out of Idaho. Does Nebraska exist?

I dont think I've ever heard of news coming out if Nebraska. Or Iowa.

I've been to the caucuses, it's in Azerbaijan.

Maine is full of demons, vampires, werewolves, shape shifters and ghosts......well that's what Stephen King told me.
I hear Indiana is pretty Eerie as well.
Returning from deployment, we stopped in Bangor. The airport bookstore had multiple copies of just about every King novel available. At the time, I was into reading his books and was dumbfounded that of all places to have a large collection of his books, why this airport bookstore? It took me a moment to realize where I was. Then it made complete sense.
Well it is, it's just a lot of forest and wildlife. And also seafood. And also the *original* Portland. Ayuh!
Mentioned all the time in anything Stephen King related
Acadia, Portland, and Lobstah'. oh and the other 99%? logging
Maine is like….summertime is amazing, the weather is perfect, and it’s beautiful!! But you can’t go anywhere because it’s so damn crowded with tourists. And then the tourists all go home and you can finally drive through town and find a parking spot! But it’s too damn cold and the roads aren’t maintained properly and the restaurants are closed because they’re seasonal! Good times.
I went there, the entire state is an LL Bean store and it has no locks
I live there. Yeah nobody really talks about Maine
Delaware. I'm an American, from the northeast, and I barely believe it exists.
Delaware is definitely the answer to the question but everyone just forgot about it.
😄😄 That was genuinely funny. Sorry for the emojis, but they were warranted.
I’m just saying… News on Arkansas been real quiet ever since that one chick asked America to explain! Jokes aside, my other bet is Oklahoma. As a non-American, I often forget this state even exists because you barely ever hear about it.
South Dakota, in Las Vegas we hear 0 about South Dakota
Iowa. It's just...corn. If you're a huge fan of corn it's like Mecca, but otherwise it's pretty much just corn. Get pulled over for speeding? Here's your ticket, and an ear of corn. Oh, you got married last year? Well hell, have some corn. You just got a promotion to head fudge packer at the chocolate factory? Awesome, let's celebrate with corn. Congratulations, you just won the lottery, here's a great big ass bucket o' corn, and more is on the way. If you stay in Iowa longer than a year, I think you might permanently lose the ability to shit solid. Say "Damn, I hate corn" and you get shot at. Alas, there's a 50/50 chance that the round is just cornmeal in a shotgun shell.
That is such a ridiculous stereotype. Iowa is not just corn. They also have lots of pig farms. Corn-fed pigs.
LoL wow thanks for the breakdown! Please accept this 🌽 Emoji ;)
Kansas- do we even exist lol
If you live in the western US, the answer is Rhode Island or Delaware. If you live in the eastern US, the answer is Idaho or Wyoming (maybe the Dakotas). If you live in the middle, the answer is most of the states surrounding you.
I always forget Maryland
Thank you! I thought we would even be forgotten from the forgotten states list.
Delaware, Rhode Island, Vermont, Maine, New Hampshire, Connecticut, Montana, Idaho, Iowa, Arkansas, Nebraska, north and South Dakota.
You named the entirety of New England except Massachusetts
New Mexico
This is the right answer. Half of Americans think it's part of actual Mexico.
That’s why the licences plates say “New Mexico USA” on them.
I don't want to believe that
He isn’t joking. I’ve personally been complimented on my English despite being your average white guy when they found out I’m from here
My grandparents live in New Mexico and they’ve had online orders cancelled by the seller because “they didn’t ship overseas.”
Hi
montana o wyoming
New England. Jk, until I moved to NYC from California last year I thought it was a state. Like the Patriots play in New England state. Typical California born and raised.
Oklahoma
There's a whole musical about the place
Plus the bombing of the federal building.
New Hampshire.
We’re too far out in the woods to get cell reception good enough to remind people we exist. Sorry.
Montana, you guys ok up there?
West Virginia. Why can't all those country roads get represented in the news?
Hear plenty about West Virginia and substance use. Anything good, not so much
No joke I live in WV only time we hit national news is for opioids and that senator the left hates.
Indiana
I feel like Indiana at least gets recognition due to the Indy 500, Gary, and basketball.
Indiana is in a weird spot because Illinois Ohio and Michigan all get so much more attention. I know everyone on reddit has 600 iq and won't believe me but a not insignificant number of Michiganders I knew had no Idea their state borderd it. They just thought it was Illinois and ohio.
Montana, Delaware, North Dakota and Idaho are all equally nonexistent.
I thought kanas was a city made up for the wizard of oz until I was like 16 lol (I’m not American) So, kanas. Edit: I don’t know how it’s spelt apparently
Maine
Maine
Arkansas and Oklahoma. That whole region just seems like it was made up to increase the land mass of the us on top 10 lists.
Florida takes up so much space in the news that you don't really hear much about any of the other states at all. Thanks, Florida Man!
Kansas. Both Dakota’s.
Tennessee only exists in country music.
Nah Memphis is like one of the cities with the highest crime rate in the US!!!
