Stateline
Where governors stop
Stateline refers to the boundary between two U.S. states, or to communities situated on or near such boundaries.
Towns named Stateline typically straddle state borders, often exploiting differences in laws—gambling, taxes, or liquor sales: We drove to Stateline to hit the casinos.
The word also appears as two words or hyphenated: state line, state-line.
