Who is the only U.S. president born on the West Coast of the United States?
Ronald Reagan
Richard Nixon
Herbert Hoover
Harry S. Truman
Fact: …On January 9, 1913, Richard Milhous Nixon was born on his parents’ citrus farm in Yorba Linda, California, a location that became notable when, in 1968, he became the first — and to date, only — U.S. president born on the West Coast of the United States. While it may seem surprising that just one president has hailed from the contiguous West Coast states of California, Oregon, and Washington, it reflects the nation’s history: the United States originated on the Eastern Seaboard and expanded westward, with those three Pacific states joining the Union relatively late — in 1850, 1859, and 1889, respectively.
Correct Answer: Richard Nixon
