I went to Washington, D.C. with my son's Boy Scout troop last weekend and it made me think of how each of the individual States have their own personalities, fun facts about them and also have a specific order that they entered the Union.  Here are a few fun facts that I found interesting:

The first American cookbook, published in Hartford in 1796: American Cookery by Amelia Simmons.

Artificial rain, first used near Concord in 1947 to fight a forest fire.

The first tea farm in the U.S., created in 1890 near Summerville.

The world's first drive-in movie theater, built in 1933 near Camden.

The Girl Scouts, founded in Savannah by Juliette Gordon Low in 1912.

The first umbrella factory in the U.S., 1928, Baltimore.
