Gulf States
OPEC members' neighborhood
The Gulf States are the U.S. states bordering the Gulf of Mexico—Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, and Florida.
The term appears in discussions of hurricanes, offshore drilling, and regional identity: Hurricane season threatens the Gulf States annually. (Lowercase gulf states typically refers to countries around the Persian Gulf.)
