Return first column in DataFrame as a list of string values

Question

how can I return a list of string values for first column (State) from below DataFrame?

                             Population
State       County  
California  Los Angeles County  9818605
Illinois    Cook County         5194675
Texas       Harris County       4092459

`print (df.index.get_level_values('State'))` - it is dupe :( — jezrael, Jan 09 '18 at 15:00

last bit is solved: converting index to list with: df.index.get_level_values(0).tolist()

Many thanks for your help! Peter
