Edit to add that Virginia actually reaches farther West than West Virginia.

Staten Island, NY is closer to NJ than it is to the rest of its own state.
Pennsville , NJ is New Jersey's westernmost point and yet is west of Allentown, PA. Also west of Carbondale, PA further north being several miles west of Milford on US 6.
