- This article is about the modern area called Appalachia. For the Mesozoic island, see Appalachia (Mesozoic).
Appalachia is a term used to include a region in the eastern United States that stretches from the state of New York to Alabama. Surrounding the Appalachian Mountains, it includes rural, urban, and industrialized regions. Although parts of the Appalachian Mountains extend through Maine into Canada, New England is usually excluded from the definition of the Appalachian region.
Over twenty million people live in Appalachia, an area roughly the size of the United Kingdom, covering largely mountainous, often isolated areas from the border of Mississippi and Alabama in the south to Pennsylvania and New York in the north. Between lay large areas of Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia, Kentucky, West Virginia, Maryland and Ohio.

I live in southern Appalachia and my neighbor's accents are not recognizable as English. Seriously, it sounds like another language.

Looks like the east coast media got it wrong when it only looked at Maine. Gays did win victories east of Appalachia. Dems got two seats!
