Steve Lovelace put together a list of the most famous brands from each state. He titled his article "The Corporate States of America" and said that he used two pieces of criteria for each state:

"a) has ties to that state and b) is still in business (as of 2013)."

While Lovelace said he had trouble with some states because of lack of big corporations within the states, he also had trouble narrowing down a choice for some states because of the abundance of bigger corporations in states.

New York State's most famous brand... Verizon.

The company is based out of Manhattan and there is no question about the reach of this company. Do you agree though? Do you think Verizon represents the state best?
