- Half of the US presidents were born in four states:
- Virginia and Ohio lead the way with a third of elected presidents hailing from Old Dominion and The Buckeye State.
- Twenty-nine states have no presidents to call their own.
When President Donald Trump was 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.
For example, former President Barack 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.
