American Northeast

New England area

The American Northeast is the region comprising the northeasternmost states of the United States, typically including New England (Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut) plus New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania.

The region is characterized by dense urbanization, historical significance in American independence, and the Boston-to-Washington corridor sometimes called the Northeast Megalopolis: She grew up in the American Northeast and found the pace of life in Texas jarring.
