State Abbreviation List

Submitted by throk on Wed, 10/17/2007 - 11:14pm

I couldn't find a list of State abbreviations that I could quickly use as options for a drop-down list for an address component for a project I'm working on. So I have a complete list of the 50 states in excel, csv, and text format. See the links

State Abbreviations [excel]

State Abbreviations [csv]

State Abbreviations [text]

Hopefully someone will find this helpful some day.

Gave me a good starting point. I needed separated by semicolons for Access.

Here's that version:

MO;AL;AK;AZ;AR;CA;CO;CT;DE;FL;GA;HI;ID;IL;IN;IA;KS;KY;LA;ME;MD;MA;MI;MN;MS;MT;NE;NV;NH;NJ;NM;NY;NC;ND;OH;OK;OR;PA;RI;SC;SD;TN;TX;UT;VT;VA;WA;WV;WI;WY
