Every state in the US has its own minimum wage on top of the federal.
Edit - I meant “can.” There is nothing stopping a state from increasing its own minimum wage over the federal level. I apologize for any confusion.
Kansas minimum wage is the same as the national minimum wage, so I wouldn’t consider that “it’s own minimum wage.”
Pretty sure it isn’t the only one.
Note: this includes the national $2 and something before tips minimum.
I don’t think that’s true if you look here:

AL, LA, MS, SC, and TN don’t have their own minimum wages if I’m reading it correctly.
