Lists of United States state symbols facts for kids
U.S. states, districts, and territories have special symbols that represent them. These symbols are officially chosen by their local governments, like the state legislature, or they are recognized through long-standing traditions.
Some symbols, like flags, seals, and birds, are chosen by all U.S. states and territories. Other symbols, such as state crustaceans, state mushrooms, and state toys, are chosen by only a few. These symbols help show what makes each state or territory unique!
