As well they should be. :)

I've been to/driven through all those towns except for Quincy and Shelbyville (though I've been near Shelbyville--in Pana).

Incidentally, a quick look on Google shows that the term "wisconsinites" has a lot of hits--"wisconsonians" also has some, though nowhere near as many as the former.

hey, I've been to the Steak 'n Shake between Shelbyville and Pana. Groovy baby.
I loved going to Quincy as a kid, right on the Mississippi, its a pretty, old river town. And we'd go over the river to Hannibal and suck up all the Mark Twain vibes. I was really into it, (although I wanted to play Huck, not Becky Thatcher.)

I believe the "oofical" designator of the ending is determined by the spelling of the state in question.

For Example,

California = Californian
Nevada = Nevadan

North Carolina = North Carolinian
Wisconsin = Wisconsonian


Now, I'm sure there are exceptions (Hawaii comes to mind) but in general, I think that is the way it (is supposed) to work.

And based upon that, people from Maryland and Massachusetts are called... ?

Tax slaves

I don't think taxes were that bad in Maryland...at least in 1999-2000.

Now if you want to talk about true tax slaves, let's talk about the District of Columbia.

According to Infoplease.com, a resident of Maryland is a Marylander, and a resident of Massachusetts is a Bay Stater.
