Did You Know!

Maine Is the Only U.S. State That Borders Just One Other State

Here’s a surprising fact about Maine that many Americans don’t know:

Maine is the only state in the United States that shares a land border with just one other U.S. state—New Hampshire.

Unlike most states, Maine is surrounded by a combination of international borders and the Atlantic Ocean. To the north and east, it borders the Canadian provinces of Quebec and New Brunswick. To the south and southeast lies the Atlantic Ocean.

Surprising fact: Although Maine is the easternmost state in the continental United States, you cannot drive from Maine to another U.S. state without passing through New Hampshire—unless you travel through Canada first.

Alabama Has an Underwater Ghost Town Hidden Beneath a Lake

One of Alabama’s most fascinating and lesser-known historical facts is that an entire town lies beneath the waters of Lake Martin.

The town of Susannah, located in Tallapoosa County, was among the communities affected when Martin Dam was constructed in the 1920s.

As the Tallapoosa River was dammed and the reservoir filled, former roads, farmland, and parts of surrounding communities disappeared beneath the rising water.

Surprising Fact: When people go boating or fishing on Lake Martin today, they may be traveling over land where Alabama families once lived and worked nearly a century ago.

The community was largely demolished before flooding, so it isn’t an intact underwater town. Nevertheless, its former location remains beneath the lake, preserving a remarkable piece of Alabama history.

Did You Know!

Louisiana is home to one of the largest swamp regions in the United States—the Atchafalaya Basin—and it is actually larger than the Florida Everglades in terms of swamp area. The basin stretches across a huge section of south-central Louisiana and contains a mix of wetlands, bayous, cypress forests, lakes, and slow-moving waterways.

What makes the Atchafalaya especially unusual is that it is not just a wilderness area. It also plays a major role in controlling the flow of the Mississippi River. Engineers have spent decades managing the relationship between the Mississippi and Atchafalaya rivers because, without major control structures, the Mississippi could eventually shift much of its flow into the Atchafalaya channel.

That would have enormous consequences for shipping, communities, wetlands, and major ports farther downstream.

The basin is also an important habitat for alligators, bald eagles, black bears, crawfish, and hundreds of species of birds and fish. Because of its size and ecological importance, the Atchafalaya Basin is often described as one of the most significant wetland ecosystems in North America.

Rarely Known Fact About Delaware: The State Has One of the Most Unusual Borders in America

Did you know that Delaware is one of the few states in America with a border shaped like part of a nearly perfect circle?

Known as the Twelve-Mile Circle, this unusual boundary dates back to 1682, when William Penn was granted land extending 12 miles outward from the courthouse in New Castle, Delaware.

Unlike most state borders, which follow straight lines, rivers, or mountain ranges, Delaware’s northern boundary curves in a distinctive circular arc. This makes it one of the most recognizable and unusual state boundaries on a map.

Even more fascinating, the Twelve-Mile Circle played a role in historic boundary disputes involving Delaware, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey. Its unique shape helped create some complicated geographical features that still exist today.

Although Delaware is the second-smallest state in America, its borders hold a surprisingly rich history dating back more than 340 years.

Fun Fact: The Twelve-Mile Circle remains part of Delaware’s official boundary today, making this small East Coast state home to one of America’s most fascinating geographical oddities.

Trump in 2011: The president of China came a few months ago and we gave him a state dinner. Now, when people are screwing you, you don’t give them state dinners. https://t.co/OeSqupmgws

This video flashes back to Donald Trump in 2011 delivering a blunt warning about America’s relationship with China, arguing that U.S. leaders shouldn’t be honoring Beijing with lavish state dinners while China was benefiting from an enormous trade imbalance. Fast-forward to Trump’s presidency, and the clip highlights the dramatic change in U.S.-China trade, with America’s goods trade deficit with China falling significantly compared with earlier levels. It’s a striking before-and-after look at how Trump’s tough talk on China years before entering the White House eventually became a major part of his trade agenda.

Did You Know!

One rarely known fact about Montana is that the state has more cattle than people. Montana is one of the least densely populated states in the country, but it has a long and important ranching tradition. Large cattle ranches stretch across its wide-open plains and valleys, and livestock remains a major part of the state’s agricultural economy.

Because Montana has a relatively small human population spread across a very large area, the number of cattle can exceed the number of residents. It’s a surprising statistic that helps explain why ranching, open land, and cowboy culture are still such a visible part of Montana’s identity today.
