When President Donald Trump took office, he became the fifth US president to hail from New York.
The Empire State now has the third-most presidents to call its own. It’s one of four states that have produced half of the 44 US presidents, along with Virginia, Ohio, and Massachusetts.
Many presidents, including Barack Obama and George W. Bush, later moved to and identified with other states.
Obama was born in Hawaii, but he later moved to and was a senator from Illinois. Bush is primarily affiliated with Texas despite being born in Connecticut.
Here are the 21 states that produced all the US presidents.
Twenty-nine states haven't produced any presidents yet. Most of them are in the west, and didn't exist when the country was founded. Here's the breakdown:
