Context of Amerika Serikat Barat

Amerika Serikat Barat-umumnya disebut American West atau hanya The West-secara tradisional merujuk pada daerah yang terdiri dari negara bagian paling barat di Amerika Serikat. Karena Amerika Serikat berkembang ke barat setelah pendiriannya, arti the West telah berubah-ubah. Sungai Mississippi sering dianggap sebagai batasan the West yang paling timur.

Catatan: menurut Penjaga Pantai AS, "Sistem Sungai Barat terdiri dari Mississippi, Ohio, Missouri, Illinois, Tennessee, Cumberland, Arkansas dan Sungai Putih dan cabang-cabangnya, dan sungai lain yang mengalir ke Teluk Meksiko" bukan Sacramento dan Columbia.

The "West" telah memasinkan peran penting dalam sejarah Amerika; Old West sering dimasukkan dalam cerita dongeng Amerika.
