This is so simple yet clever. Being from the northeast, I immediately thought of Delaware and Connecticut, but I suppose each of those are rather short in comparison. Are there any other "major" rivers that just aren't long enough to be well known?
actually, from what I remember, most of the states/rivers here were named after native american tribes living there. (kansas, arkansas, missouri...) I have no idea which ones were named first, however.
Thanks for the easy points. (55 seconds left) It helps that five of these are within a three-hour drive of my home and I've been over their bridges many times.

"The state takes its name from the Ohio River"
"The state was named for the Colorado River"
"The state is named for the Missouri River"
The quiz was easy but the title is quite wrong.
They pronounce it Ar- Can-sus
The Rest of the country pronounces It Ar-Can-Saw
