The towns and cities of the Mid-Atlantic have been integral to U.S. history for over four centuries. The site of the first permanent English settlements, the place where the first state declared its independence, the places that played pivotal roles in the Revolutionary War, the War of 1812, and the Civil War – these historic places are all here in the Mid-Atlantic states of Virginia, West Virginia, Maryland, and Delaware, as well as the nation`s capital itself in the District of Columbia.
If you love natural beauty, quaint towns, whale-watching, and eating some great seafood, then the Northeast is for you. From idyllic mountain villages to stunning seaside retreats, there`s just something special about the Northeast.
The historic towns of the U.S. South predate even the first permanent European settlers who landed in Florida in 1565. Events that happened in the South have shaped our country`s history, from French colonial Louisiana to the battles of the Civil War to the civil rights movement.
