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.
