The state that is often referred to as the Cradle of Presidents is Ohio. To date, eight presidents have been from Ohio.
William Henry Harrison who was living in Ohio when he ran for President and who is buried in Ohio, was born in Virginia.
Eight U.S. Presidents were born in Virginia, earning the state the nickname "Mother of Presidents." (Ohio has seven, plus W.H. Harrison who lived in the state and held office there. )
Virginia and Ohio were both birthplaces of 7 presidents. Ohio can claim 8 by adding Wm. Henry Harrison who lived in Ohio as an adult. However, Grant and Benjamin Harrison who were born in Ohio moved out of Ohio before they got into politics, so 8 may be an exaggeration.
Only eight U.S. Presidents were born in Ohio and/or represented Ohio. Ohio was the state of birth of Grant, Hayes, Garfield, B. Harrison, McKinley, Taft and Harding. When they ran for President, Ohio was the home state of W.H. Harrison, Hayes, Garfield, McKinley, Taft and Harding.
Arguably, it is either Ohio or Virginia that claims to have the most native presidents. William Henry Harrison was born in Virginia but spent most of his life in Ohio. Both states have eight, including him.
Ohio is number two in this contest with seven ; Virginia leads with eight.
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).
Eight were born in Virginia and four in New York, so the total is 12.
