List of presidents of the United States by home state

These lists give the states of birth and of primary affiliation for each president of the United States.

Birthplaces

Twenty-one states have the distinction of being the birthplace of a president.

One president's birth state 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 his birth state.[1]

Born on December 5, 1782, Martin Van Buren was the first president born an American citizen (and not a British subject).[2]

The term Virginia dynasty is sometimes used to describe the fact that four of the first five U.S. presidents were from Virginia.

The number of presidents per state in which they were born, counting Jackson as being from South Carolina, are:

Presidential birthplace and early childhood historic sites

The birthplaces and early childhood residences of many U.S. presidents have been preserved or replicated. In instances where a physical structure is absent, a monument or roadside marker has been erected to denote the site's historic significance. All sites in the table below are listed in the National Register of Historic Places.

A dramatic shift in childbirth from home to hospital occurred in the United States in the early 20th century (mid–1920s to 1940).[4] Reflective of this trend, Jimmy Carter and all presidents born during and after World War II (Bill Clinton and every president since) have been born in a hospital, not a private residence. This sortable table is ordered by the presidents' birthdates.

Notes

  1. ^ Although a resident of Louisiana during the 1848 election and throughout his presidency, Taylor spent his entire childhood in Louisville, volunteered for the Kentucky militia, commissioned the Kentuckian 7th Infantry Regiment at Terre aux Boeufs, and is buried in a cemetery in Louisville named after him. According to Zachary Taylor: The American Presidents Series: The 12th President, 1849–1850 states on p. 11 ~ "Taylor's home state of Kentucky,..."
  2. ^ Eisenhower held residency in New York during the 1952 presidential election and later in Pennsylvania during the 1956 presidential election, but was primarily raised in Kansas and later settled back there.
  3. ^ Nixon's official state of residence when he was first elected President in 1968 and during his first year as President was New York because he moved there to practice law after his defeat in the 1962 California gubernatorial election. After becoming president, Nixon sold his New York home in late May 1969 and re-established his residency in California in late May to early June.[5][6]
  4. ^ Trump's official state of residence was New York in the 2016 presidential election, but it was changed to Florida when his permanent residence was moved from Trump Tower to Mar-a-Lago in 2019.
