Virginia, with eight (Washington, Jefferson, Madison, Monroe, Wm. H. Harrison, Tyler, Taylor and Wilson) was the birthplace of the most presidents. However, Taylor and Wilson moved out of Virginia with their parents when they were young children and Harrison as a very young adult. The other five were the only ones who held office in Virginia and lived there after they left office and are buried in Virginia.
Ohio had seven presidents born there, Grant, Hayes, Garfield, Ben. Harrison, McKinley, Taft and Harding . Harrison and Grant left the state as young adults and never lived there again, but Wm Harrison moved there as an adult, was living there when elected President and is buried there. The other five all held office in Ohio and had their homes there. So, sixpresidents actually lived in Ohio as adults and are buried in Ohio.

∙ 14y agoIt depends on what you mean by "represented" - many presidents are not strongly associated with the states in which they were born, and are more strongly associated with states in which they served as public officials or represented in Congress before becoming president.
For example, George W. Bush was born in Connecticut, but he is most strongly associated with Texas, where he was prominent in business and politics, eventually becoming governor of that state. Barack Obama was born in Hawaii, but is more strongly associated with Illinois, where he served in the state legislature, and represented in the U.S. Senate.
Ronald Reagan was born in Illinois, but, aside from being president, is best known as a Hollywood actor and governor of California.
However, going by state of birth, it's Virginia, where 8 presidents have been born (George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, James Monroe, William Henry Harrison, John Tyler, Zachary Taylor, and Woodrow Wilson).
Virginia is followed closely by Ohio, which is the birthplace of 7 presidents (Ulysses S. Grant, Rutherford B. Hayes, James A. Garfield, Benjamin Harrison, William McKinley, William Howard Taft, and Warren G. Harding)
