Michigan
4th grade. The entire 4th grade social studies curriculum is Michigan. Half the year is history, half the year is current/government structure/economy/symbols, etc.
The history/social studies curriculum is very organized.. 2nd grade is their own community, 3rd grade is the region/county, 4th grade is the state, 5th grade is the early govt, US through the Revolutionary War, 6th grade is the Western World, 7th is the Eastern World, 8th is 19th century American history, 9th is Civics, 10th is 20th century American, 11th is World History. So, they start with what is familiar to them and work their way outward.
I think each state probably has enough history to fill an entire year.
