Twenty-one states have the distinction of being the birthplace of a president.

Presidential birthplace and early childhood historic sites

The birthplaces and early childhood residences of many U.S. presidents have been preserved or replicated. In instances where a physical structure is absent, a monument or roadside marker has been erected to denote the site's historic significance. All sites in the table below are listed in the National Register of Historic Places. A dramatic shift in childbirth from home to hospital occurred in the United States in the early 20th century (mid–1920s to 1940). Reflective of this trend, Jimmy Carter and all presidents born during and after World War II (Bill Clinton and every president since) have been born in a hospital, not a private residence. This sortable table is ordered by the presidents' birthdates.
