Can you name all of the states in the United States? Chances are, even if you were able to name all 50 states, you likely got a few names wrong. How? Well, unless you are a history buff or have a fascination with state names, odds are you forgot to include the term commonwealth in a few of the state names. That's right — four states in the United States are actually considered commonwealths and include the term in their official name. In addition to the four states, there are two territories in the United States that are considered commonwealths – Puerto Rico and the Northern Mariana Islands. Unlike the four states listed below, these commonwealths are not official states. Let's take a look at which states have commonwealth in their name.
