I thought it would be interesting and educational if we all put one interesting piece of history or fact about our State. We could limit this to one or 2 facts per person per day. Each of us would learn something new about another State or possiblely even our own. The reason I say maybe one or 2 a day per person is because there are alot of you from New York and only one or 2 of us from Maine and poor Al is all alone in Wisconsin! Also, trying to cram to much info into an old brain all in one day leads to migraines!
OK, i'll start.....

Maine:
1. Eastport is the most eastern city in the United States. The city is considered the first place in the United States to receive the rays of the morning sun.
2. Maine is the only state in the United States whose name has one syllable

Ok, so share some interesting facts/history about your State, I'm eager to learn!!
