Western regions Facts
babunello [35]
This region has both the state with the smallest population (Wyoming) and the largest population (California).
Alaska's land area is much bigger than any other state, but it has one of the lowest populations.
The western US takes up about half of the land of the United States.

The western United States is the region comprising the westernmost states of the United States. As American settlement in the U.S. expanded westward, the meaning of the term the West changed. Before about 1800, the crest of the Appalachian Mountains was seen as the western frontier.


Hope this helps :)
