Message: [QUOTE="jordoo, post: 1895598, member: 569"] Just bellow the Mason-Dixon line and that's why I say people in the NE might not consider it a NE city but the rest of the country does. Its certainly in the east as is Florida but its also more north than it is south. The below from Wiki. [COLOR=#ff0000]The [B]Northeast megalopolis[/B] (also [B]Boston–Washington Corridor[/B] or [B]Bos-Wash Corridor[/B]) is the most heavily [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urban_area']urbanized region[/URL] of the [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States']United States[/URL], running primarily northeast to southwest from the northern [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suburbs']suburbs[/URL] of [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boston']Boston[/URL], [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Massachusetts']Massachusetts[/URL], to the southern suburbs of [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Washington,_D.C.']Washington, D.C.[/URL], in [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northern_Virginia']Northern Virginia[/URL].[URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northeast_megalopolis#cite_note-2'][2][/URL] It includes the major cities of [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boston']Boston[/URL], [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York_City']New York City[/URL], [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philadelphia']Philadelphia[/URL], [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baltimore']Baltimore[/URL], and [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Washington,_D.C.']Washington, D.C.[/URL], along with their metropolitan areas and suburbs as well as many smaller urban centers. On a map, the Northeast [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Megalopolis_(city_type)']megalopolis[/URL] appears almost as a straight line. As of the year 2000, the region contained 49.6 million people, about 17% of the U.S. [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Population']population[/URL] on less than 2% of the nation's land area, with a population density of 931.3 people per square mile (359.6 people/km2), compared to the U.S. average of 80.5 per square mile 2[URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northeast_megalopolis#cite_note-3'][3][/URL] (31 people/km2). [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/America_2050']America 2050[/URL] projections expect the area to grow to 58.1 million people by 2025.[URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northeast_megalopolis#cite_note-NE-4'][4][/URL][URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northeast_megalopolis#cite_note-5'][5][/URL] French [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geography']geographer[/URL] [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jean_Gottmann']Jean Gottmann[/URL] popularized the term in his landmark 1961 study of the region, [I]Megalopolis: The Urbanized Northeastern Seaboard of the United States[/I]. Gottmann concluded that the region's cities, while discrete and independent, are uniquely tied to each other through the intermeshing of their suburban zones, taking on some characteristics of a single, massive city: a [I]megalopolis[/I]. [/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000]While at one time certainly Civil War time and even after that you are correct that MD, DE, WV, DC were not considered NE they generally are now. Its not Civil War times, the whole country is now populated and Baltimore is a major city in the Northeast. [/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
