It is important to understand that The National Park service manages more than 400 units in the United States, but most of these do not have the honorific name of "National Park." The states that do not have any of the 62 "official" named national parks are Alabama, Connecticut, Delaware, Georgia, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Louisiana, Maryland, Massachuesetts, Mississippi, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, Washington, DC, West Virginia, and Wisconsin. These states DO, however have units managed by the National Park Services, such as National Seashore, or National Historic Site, etc., but that are not "official" national parks like the biggies of Yellowstone, Yosemite, Olympic, etc. These states, however, may claim these units as "National Parks" for promotional purposes. The most recent states to have land upgraded to "National Park" status are Missouri and Indiana.
