regional pride
Love of place
Regional pride is a strong sense of attachment and loyalty to one's geographic area, whether a state, province, city, or broader region.
It often manifests in enthusiasm for local sports teams, cuisine, traditions, and cultural identity, and can involve friendly rivalry with neighboring areas.
Texas is famous for its regional pride.
The sentiment ranges from healthy appreciation of local character to defensive insistence that one's region is superior to others.
