You Won’t Believe Where the Most Eastern Point in the USA is!

Did you know that the most eastern point of the United States isn’t even in the eastern part of the country? That’s right, the furthest east you can go in the US is actually west of the 180th meridian, which is the international date line. This is because the prime meridian, which is the 0-degree longitude line, was set at Greenwich, England, which is west of the US. So, if you want to go to the most eastern point in the US, you need to head west! [120]
Of course, this is all just arbitrary lines on a map, but it’s still pretty funny to think about. Just imagine trying to explain this to someone from another country. They’d probably think we were crazy! [140]
