There is no such city in the United States.\n\nThe closest city names to that are Ocean Springs, Mississippi and Ocean Shores, Washington.
118621
The city has 5 boros Manhattan,Brooklyn,the Bronx,Queens and Staten Island which are on 4 land regions. Manhattan is the smallest island with over a million people, Brooklyn and Queens are on Long Island, the Bronx is on North America,and \nStaten Island is an island (what?).\nThe state has a northern Great Lakes/St.Lawrence River Lowland ,an Appalachian Mountain middle ,and a southern Atlantic Coastal Plain.

That would all depend on the jurisdiction. That would mean one thing in one state and another in another state.

There is no state animal for iowa.  However the first answerer is wrong; some states DO have animals, like New York, whose animal is the beaver.  I'm from NY and thought that we named the beaver as our state animal in my lifetime.  After doing some research I see that I was right!

technically, there is only one "United States" but you are right in that there are several countries with translations equating. Most, however, are "the United State of..." Any country in itself can be called a state, and thus would be a United State.

I DO BELIEVE THAT THE ANSWER THAT YOU ARE LOOKING FOR IS DELEWARE. IT IS ALSO NICKNAMED "THE FIRST STATE" DUE TO THE FACT THAT IT WAS THE FIRST STATE IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.

You will probably have to list the city in which the school is located also. I am sure there are plenty of schools with that exact name.
