List of oldest people by U.S. state

This list, U.S. state longevity recordholders, is a list of the oldest verified people from each U.S. state. The United States has the world's largest validated supercentenarian population. The records largely reflect population distribution and systems of recordkeeping 110 or more years ago, when several states didn't yet exist. States farther west thus have fewer verified recordholders. This table only includes states where the oldest person ever is or was at least 110. For the currently oldest individual in each state see List of oldest living people by U.S. state.
