Hawaii Is the Widest State in the U.S.
Hawaii is the widest state in the United States when measured from Niihau to the island of Hawaii, spanning approximately 1,500 miles. However, this measurement doesn’t directly correlate with landmass size, as Hawaii’s total land area is relatively small at 6,423 square miles.
In comparison, states like Texas, Alaska, and California have significantly larger land areas. California, for instance, is about 24 times larger than Hawaii despite Hawaii’s impressive width.
