Which state is Phoenix in?
Think you know the United States like the back of your hand? Many people can point to New York or Los Angeles on a map, but when it comes to matching major cities to their correct states, even seasoned travelers get tripped up. Some cities share names with their states, others sit right on borders, and a few have twin cities in completely different parts the country. This quiz features 40 important U.S. cities — from coastal giants to inland powerhouses — and challenges you to pair each one its home state. Options are deliberately tricky (neighboring states, similar-sounding names, and common misconceptions). Only true geography buffs will score 40/40. Ready to prove you're one them? Let's go!
