Lista de canciones estatales de EE. UU.
Cuarenta y ocho de los cincuenta estados de EE. UU. tienen una o más canciones estatales, un tipo de himno regional, que cada legislatura estatal selecciona como símbolo (o emblema) de ese estado de EE. UU. en particular.
Algunos estados de EE. UU. tienen más de una canción estatal oficial y pueden referirse a algunas de sus canciones oficiales con otros nombres; por ejemplo, Arkansas tiene oficialmente dos canciones estatales, además de un himno estatal y una canción histórica estatal. Tennessee tiene la mayor cantidad de canciones estatales, con 10 canciones estatales oficiales y un rap oficial del bicentenario.
Arizona tiene una canción que se escribió específicamente como himno estatal en 1915, así como el éxito country de 1981 "Arizona", que adoptó como himno estatal alternativo en 1982.
Dos personas, Stephen Foster y John Denver, han escrito o coescrito dos canciones estatales. Las dos canciones estatales de Foster, "Old Folks at Home" (más conocida como "Swanee Ribber" o "Suwannee River"), adoptada por Florida, y "My Old Kentucky Home", se encuentran entre las canciones más conocidas de los EE. UU. En 2007, el Senado de Colorado aprobó una resolución para hacer que la marca registrada de Denver en 1972 fuera el éxito 'Rocky Mountain High'. una de las dos canciones oficiales del estado, junto con 'Where the Columbines Grow'. En 2014, la Legislatura de West Virginia aprobó una resolución para hacer de Denver's 'Take Me Home, Country Roads'; una de las cuatro canciones estatales oficiales de Virginia Occidental. Además, Woody Guthrie escribió o coescribió dos canciones folclóricas estatales: "Roll On, Columbia, Roll On" y "Oklahoma Hills" – pero tienen un estatus separado de las canciones oficiales del estado de Washington y Oklahoma, respectivamente. Otras canciones estatales conocidas incluyen "Yankee Doodle", "You Are My Sunshine", "Rocky Top" y "Home on the Range".;; varios otros son estándares populares, incluidos "Oklahoma" (del musical de Rodgers y Hammerstein), 'Georgia on My Mind' de Hoagy Carmichael, 'Tennessee Waltz', 'Missouri Waltz' y ' 34;A orillas del Wabash, muy lejos". Muchos de los otros son mucho menos conocidos, especialmente fuera del estado.
Nueva Jersey nunca ha adoptado una canción estatal. En 2021, Maryland eliminó el estado oficial de "Maryland, My Maryland" debido al lenguaje pro-confederado considerado racista, pero no estableció un reemplazo. La anterior canción estatal de Virginia, 'Carry Me Back to Old Virginny', adoptada en 1940, fue posteriormente anulada en 1997 debido al lenguaje considerado racista por la Asamblea General de Virginia. En 2015, "Nuestra Gran Virginia" se convirtió en la nueva canción estatal de Virginia.
Nuevo México no tiene una sino dos canciones en español: "Así Es Nuevo México" es la Canción oficial del Estado español, mientras que "Nuevo México - Mi Lindo Nuevo México" es la Canción Bilingüe del Estado.
Iowa's ("The Song of Iowa") usa la melodía de la canción "O Tannenbaum" como la melodía de su canción oficial del estado.
