I thoroughly agree with the Alaska, Hawaii, and Louisiana nominations so far as well, and can definately see cases made for Texas, California, and Florida.
I'll add Vermont to the list. I think VT has worked hard to stay simple, unique, homemade/homegrown. While the rest of the world becomes more and more generic, VT is one place that tries to avoid that.

Well, for one, it's the only state in the Union that has one syllable. Also, a big one is it's the only state on the east coast with such a rugged, rocky coastline. (Though other New England states to the south are somewhat familiar to it) I'll list more reasons when I return from there next month.
I don't get how Georgia tops this list. The few times I have been to Georgia were not even all that. Georgia is mad country and overrated.
Where did you get that Georgia tops the list?
I think Georgia's a great state, but I wouldn't say it's a contender for the most unique. It certainly has its own regional culture (as all the states really do) and specific history, especially in areas like Savannah, but I don't see it as neccessarily more unique than South Carolina or North Carolina, and would nominate Florida before Georgia.

Thanks Thomas!
To add one:
Maine is the only state in the Union that borders only one other state (New Hampshire).
I vote for Louisiana, it is truly unlike any others. Even the states that border it have little in common with LA. Honorable mention would be Alaska and Hawaii, they are unique but only because of geographic isolation.
Speaking of Utah, Hawaii's last monarch, Queen Liliuokalani was a Mormon.
This is the first I've heard of this, although I find the subject of the Hawaiian monarchy fascinating.
How did Mormonism come to Hawaii?
