▶ In this video I talk about the US states that have panhandles, such as Oklahoma, Texas, Florida, Alaska, Maryland, Idaho or West Virginia (which has two of them!) in addition to those of Connecticut and Nebraska. Understanding what these narrow strips of land are and the reasons and history behind why the borders of said states have them, even though they cause somewhat of an eye-sore on maps.
