Maine

Maine was the 23rd state to join the union

Maine
Maine is somewhat tomboyish and the brains of the 50, often aiding Alabama and New York. She also has trouble trusting Kentucky. She has a habit of referring lobsters with "bugs". She also stands up to New Hampshire when he is being mean.

Maine was the last state to join the country in the east, as well as the last state to join in New England.

She is the only state with a single syllable name. And the only state she touches is New Hampshire.

Name origin
There is no clear answer to where the name Maine came from. It first appeared in a charter that granted land to Sir Ferdinando Gorges and Captain John Mason. When the land was split between the two, the land that was Gorges' became known as Maine. It is likely that the name came from a nautical reference to the main land.
