This is a list of Representative '''U.S. State Soils'''. A state soil is a [[soil]] that has special significance to a particular [[U.S. State|state]]. Each state in the [[United States of America|United States]] has selected a state soil, twenty of which have been legislatively established. These Official State Soils share the same level of distinction as official [[List of U.S. state flowers|state flowers]] and [[List of U.S. state birds|birds]]. Also, representative soils have been selected for [[Puerto Rico]] and the [[United States Virgin Islands|U.S. Virgin Islands]].<ref>{{cite web | title = State Soils | publisher = U.S. Department of Agriculture | url = http://soils.usda.gov/gallery/state_soils/ | accessdate =2007-03-11}}</ref>
