A compilation containing all United States of America’s federated entities designed for easy printing serves multiple educational and organizational purposes. This resource typically presents the states in alphabetical order, along with supplementary data such as their capitals, abbreviations, or dates of statehood. An example would be a single-page PDF document formatted for 8.5″ x 11″ paper, listing each state’s name, followed by its postal abbreviation and capital city.
The availability of such a document offers distinct advantages. For educators, it provides a readily accessible tool for geography lessons, quizzes, and study aids. Students benefit from a structured format that facilitates memorization and reference. In a business context, this kind of readily available compilation simplifies tasks related to market research, logistical planning, and demographic analysis. Historically, the need for standardized lists of states has grown alongside the nation itself, reflecting the increasing complexity of inter-state commerce and communication.
Subsequent sections will delve into different formats in which this kind of information can be found, the various uses to which it can be applied, and considerations for selecting the most appropriate version for a given purpose.
