STATE ABBREVIATIONS

STATE AND COUNTY ABBREVIATIONS States and countries and their corresponding abbreviations are listed

below in alphabetical order both by location and by abbreviation. The same two-letter abbreviation may be assigned to both a state and a country. To distinguish between geographic locations, asterisks are used. If there is an asterisk following the two-letter abbreviation, the location is a county. If no asterisk appears, the location is a state. For example, CA* refers to Canada; CA refers to California.
