Every state in the United States has at least one state nickname and most have several. Some of the nicknames are quite well known. In other cases, people might find it challenging to identify the state from the nickname. In fact, people living in a particular state might not recognize all of the state nicknames for that state.
All of this makes for a fun and interesting quiz. In this quiz, I will list a state nickname and list three states. See if you can match the state with its nickname. This isn’t as easy as it seems. You might be surprised by some of the answers. Are you ready?

Not a good result but learnt interesting information.
The learning part is what gives quizzes their value.
nice post!!
Thank you!
Only got 1 this time! woops!
This was the harder of the two, in my opinion.
Not knowing the nicknames to begin with, I don’t know which was harder lol. But still, a fun quiz!
I’m glad you liked it. There just might be a part three in the future sometime.
4 of 10; no idea of American states
For knowing nothing about American states, you did really good!
Haha… you are most kind, my friend ~ thank you! 🙂
Six out of ten.
That is pretty good!
Thank you very much.
i got only 1
Man, I must have made it harder than I thought! lol
I dont know any states nicknames.
4/10
Interesting quiz!
I’m glad that you liked it. If I have the chance, I’ll do a part two. That was only 10 of 50 states, after all.
Don’t know anything about US sates and their nicknames but got 5/10 by making some wild guesses. Lovely images and a great quiz.
Apparently, you know a lot more than you think. Either that or you are an excellent guesser. lol
Only 3/10
I’ll probably be writing a part two. Maybe you’ll do better? At least you got three of them right, too!
I hope so 🙂
Only got 4 but learned a lot!
It is rather interesting, huh?
Many of these are amusing and I like the quiz, although it didn’t surprise me that I got only 2 right 🙂
People tend not to pay a lot of attention to state nicknames, but in each case, they were given the nickname for a reason. lol
got 4 out of 10 right!
That is still 40%, Edith! This isn’t an easy quiz.
Ok, I really didn’t do well but I loved the quiz!
It’s harder than it sounds, isn’t it? LOL
Got 9 also hehe.!
That is really good! You know your states!
9 here..
Terrific! I honestly didn’t expect anyone to get that many right.
You`re right – some surprises. My main surprise was that I managed to get any of them right at all! Florida was the only obvious answer – that is, after all, how it got the name.
True, but I’m unsure how many people associate the two. To me, the nickname for Alabama is amusing, too.
7/10
That is really good, Gina!
