The United States is comprised of fifty states and a national capital district, as well as a number of territories and possessions around the world.  Because their names are commonly used and some of them are fairly long, they are often abbreviated in written documents and on mailing addresses.

state abbreviationsStateAbbreviations.us features a table of U.S. States, Districts, Territories, and Possessions, along with their standard and postal service abbreviations and their state capitals.  Each State name contains an active link to its official state government website.  Each row of the State table also includes access to a state map.  Each District, Territory, or Possession name contains an active link to its official government or tourism website.  To find state locations, view the state abbreviations map, which shows the lower 48 states plus Alaska and Hawaii, plus their two-letter postal abbreviations.  Click on the illustration at right for a simplified view of the 50 states and their postal abbreviations.
