Alaska shares a western border with Canada while Hawaii is an archipelago located in the Pacific Ocean. The capital of the United States is Washington, D.C.

Fourteenth Century - Seventeenth Century
European explorers discovered "the New World" when they first discovered North America. However, they were not the first to know about the United States; the wizards knew about this large area of land long before Muggles did. (The American community used the slang term "No-Maj" meaning "No-Magic").

Many wizards who live in the United States attend Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
