northeasterners
People from Maine
Northeasterners are people from the northeastern region of a place, most often the northeastern United States—typically New England and the Mid-Atlantic states.
The term often carries connotations of urban sophistication, liberal politics, or a distinct regional identity: Northeasterners tend to talk faster than folks from the South.
