These lists give the states of primary affiliation and of birth for each President of the United States.
A list of US Presidents including the state with which each was primarily affiliated, due to residence, professional career, and electoral history. This is not necessarily the state in which the president was born.
Note: The flags presented for the states are the present day flags, which were not necessarily adopted in the times of the earliest presidents.
Of the 44 individuals (accounting for Grover Cleveland's two non-consecutive terms) who have served as President of the United States, 19 served after officially residing in a different state than the one in which they were born.
Presidents with an asterisk (*) did not primarily reside in their respective birth states (they were not born in the state listed below).
A list of birthplaces of U.S. Presidents. As of January 2017[update], 21 states claim the distinction of being the birthplace of a president. One claim is in dispute. North and South Carolina (British colonies at the time) both lay claim to Andrew Jackson, who was born in 1767, in the Waxhaw region along their common border. Jackson himself considered South Carolina as his birth state. Eight presidents, those born prior to the American Revolutionary War, were born in British colonies, rather than U.S. states.
The number of presidents born per state are:
