Here is the official breakdown of (FBI recognized) Cosa Nostra borgatas that operated in the United States.

What follows below were the States that had more than one indigenous "Family" as homegrown Families originating in that state. Remember fellas, other families may have operated in some of these states as well, but they had their "home base" elsewhere.

California (3 families); Los Angeles (Dragna), San Jose (Cerrito), San Francisco (Lanza)

Illinois (3 families); Chicago (Accardo), Rockford (Zammuto), Springfield (Zito)

Missouri (2 families); St. Louis (Giordano) and Kansas City (Civella)
