About United States
The United States spans North America from Atlantic to Pacific, taking in everything from Florida's subtropics to Alaska's Arctic tundra and Hawaii's mid-ocean volcanoes. Its capital, Washington, D.C., was purpose-built on the Potomac River as a seat of government belonging to no state. Fifty states, vast national parks and dozens of major cities make it a country of remarkable variety.
- Because Alaska's Aleutian Islands cross the 180th meridian, the state contains both the westernmost and, by longitude, the easternmost points of the USA.
- France's gift of the Statue of Liberty crossed the Atlantic disassembled into 350 pieces packed in 214 crates.
- The United States bought Alaska from Russia in 1867 for 7.2 million dollars, roughly two cents an acre.
