Virginia, although there hasn't been a President from Virginia since 1920. Three Presidents were born in Virginia but officially resided somewhere else: (William Henry Harisson, Zachary Taylor and Woodrow Wilson).
Grant (#18), Hayes (#19) and Garfield (#20) are all born in Ohio. Grant moved out when he left for college and never lived in Ohio thereafter.
I get 6/43 = 13.95 % of US presidents from Ohio, Although Obama is often called the 44th president, there have only been 43 different presidents. I did not count Grant and B, Harrison as being from Ohio since they were not from Ohio when they were elected even though they were born there. I did count W.H. Harrison who was born in Virginia but was living in Ohio when he was elected. So,the six presidents "from" Ohio were W.H.Harrison, Hayes, Garfield, McKinley, Taft and Harding.
If you use the Mason-Dixon line to determine the south, there have been a total of nine Presidents in America from the south. The states with the most out of these are Tennessee and Texas with three each.
Yes, with qualifications. Eight Presidents were born in what later became the state of Virginia but only three were born after Virginia was a state in the United States. Seven presidents were born in Ohio and all were born after Ohio became a state.
