Middle Atlantic States
The
Middle Atlantic States
form one of the nine geographic divisions within the
United States
that are officially recognized by that country's
census
bureau. The division consists of only three states -
New Jersey
,
New York State
and
Pennsylvania
- the fewest of any of the nine divisions, but is the most densely-populated of the nine. It is one of the two divisions that constitute the
United States Census Bureau
's larger
region
of the
Northeast
; the other division belonging to the Northeast is
New England
. The Middle Atlantic States are the anchor of America's great
megalopolis
, which runs from
Boston
to
Washington, D.C.
. The southeastern part of New York State, eastern Pennsylvania, and all of New Jersey combine to form the bulk of the
moral region
of
Metropolis
, according to noted socio-political geographers
James Patterson
and
Peter Kim
, co-authors of the groundbreaking
1991
book
The Day America Told The Truth
(Metropolis begins in the southern
Connecticut
suburbs of
New York City
and stretches along the
Eastern seaboard
to the northern
Virginia
suburbs of
Washington, D.C.
). The book classifies the remainder of New York State and Pennsylvania in the
Rust Belt
.
