  1. western united states

    The Western United States, commonly referred to as the American West or simply the West, traditionally refers to the region comprising the westernmost states of the United States. As the nation's westward expansion, "the West" was shaped from the frontier of the colonial eastern seaboard to the Far West of the Pacific coast. The states which are included may vary but often constitute everything west of the Mississippi River. This can include states such as Colorado, Arizona, Wyoming, California, Nevada, Washington, Idaho, Utah, New Mexico, Montana, and Oregon amongst others. States along the west coast of the United States, the Mountain states, and states bordering the southern part of the United States–Mexico border are often included.

  1. Western United States

    The Western United States, commonly referred to as the American West or simply the West," traditionally refers to the region comprising the westernmost states of the United States. Because the U.S. expanded westward after its founding, the meaning of the West has evolved over time. Prior to about 1800, the crest of the Appalachian Mountains was seen as the western frontier. Since then, the frontier moved further west and the Mississippi River was referenced as the easternmost possible boundary of the West. The West mostly comprises arid to semi-arid plateaus and plains and forested mountains. In the 21st century, the states which include the Rocky Mountains and the Great Basin to the West Coast are generally considered to comprise the American West.
