A Definitive Ranking of U.S. License Plates by The Discoverer Blog

In 1901, New York became the first state in the country to mandate license plates for automobiles. Those early designs were rather simple: black leather inscribed with the car owner’s initials, though by 1903 there were so many vehicles on the road that the state began requiring unique registration numbers instead of just initials By 1918, license plates had been issued throughout all 48 contiguous states, and their size was later standardized across the country in the 1950s.

Despite the identical shape they now share, each license plate boasts a unique design that reflects a point of local pride. Some are colorful, others have catchy slogans, and then there are a few that are unfortunately rather dull. We decided to take a look at all 50 states plus D.C. and the five major U.S. territories in hopes of determining the best license plate in the country. Here’s our definitive ranking of every U.S. license plate.
