How many states have a part called "the panhandle" (school, ferry)

[marmac]

as a Minnesotan, I have only heard of 3 states that have an area referred to as the panhandle-------Texas,Oklahoma, and Florida.

There may be more out there, bit the news hasn't made it this far north yet

Without reading any posts here and only going off the title and without looking it up this is from what I personally can remember (feel free to add any if I missed them, going off memory here):
- Alaska
- Florida
- Texas
- West Virginia
- Idaho?
- Oklahoma

Hm. I would have thought the Nebraska one might as Nebraska's closer to Minnesota.

In the non-anglosaxon world, where I live, we do not refer to a "panhandle". But we have them too! The Netherlands has it's southernmost province: "Limburg". Looking on the map, you'll see that this panhandle goes to the south, not to the left/right/west/east.

Is a "panhandle" only an east-west slice of land?

The northern part of Idaho is called the panhandle.

Only some know this, but the southern half of Arizona is the "panhandle" of California and contains the emerging Los Angeles #2 (commonly referred to as Phoenix).

It's not used super often but the small part of Oregon that sticks up northwest of Portland (Astoria, Cannon Beach, Clatskanie) is sometimes called the panhandle.
