I am going to assume that you mean which state in the United States has the easternmost point.  Interestingly, the state that is the furthest east is also the state that is the furthest west.  The state that I am talking about is Alaska.  The reason that it is the farthest east is because some of the Aleutian Islands cross the 180 degree line of longitude.  This places those islands in the eastern hemisphere; therefore, they are east of the Prime Meridian.  If this question is referring to the lower 48 states, then the answer changes.  The state that is located farthest east among the 48 contiguous states is Maine.  The eastern edge of Maine is 66 degrees west.  Sail Rock just off the coast from the West Quoddy Head Lighthouse is also part of Maine and technically even farther east.
