The New England region of the United States is located in the northeastern corner of the country. Boston is its business and cultural center and its most populous city. The region is made up of the following states:

    • Curiously, New York east of the Hudson River has occasionally been called part of New England. For example, the New England Interstate Highways of the 1920s included eastern New York. This nomenclature is exceedingly rare and would be considered incorrect by most people in both New York and New England proper.

    New England is perhaps the most well-defined region of the United States, with more uniformity and more shared heritage than other regions of the country. But, while there is cultural and historical uniformity throughout the whole region, Northern and Southern New England differ in the fact that the former is more rural whereas the latter is very urban. This difference has always existed, however, even when the region was young, and thus does not imply a growing or changing trend, but rather the result of historical population patterns. Western and Eastern New England share similar differences, with the former not only being much more rural, but also usually lacking the Boston accent that typifies the region in the eyes of outsiders. While some parts of Western New England closely border metropolitan New York City, they are still historically, and, for the most part, culturally part of New England.

    Therefore, despite the influence of the New York metropolis, New England remains one of the most clearly-defined cultural and historical regions of the United States.

    Together, the Mid-Atlantic and New England regions are generally referred to as the Northeastern region of the United States.

Oceanfront Cottage on 1.5 acres, Spectacular Setting & Stunning Views! (sonoma) 2bd

SEE PHOTOS BELOW AND ON OUR WEBSITE AT: http://www.thecovehouse.com More pictures This is Cove House: a charming, comfortable New England-style cottage perched on 1.5 bluff-top acres overlooking some of the most spectacular coastline in Northern California. Your cozy hideaway has white-washed wood beamed ceilings, cottage-style furnishings, and its own blufftop meadow for a leisurely game of croquet or horseshoes (both provided). Curl up on the sofa next to the wood stove with a good book and a jaw-dropping ocean view. Relax in the hot tub with a glass of wine and watch the fishing boats head for shelter as the sun sets over offshore islands. Or wander down the path to the cove, check out the coastal wildflowers and tidepools, and watch the tide roll in. Want more action? Rent a kayak in town and put out from your own cove. Need a rest? You won't have to fight with your travel partner for the couch: Two comfy sofas offer ample snoozing room. Forget your book? An extensive, varied, and intelligent library awaits. The town offers excellent restaurants, good markets, art galleries, and a spa. Local wineries along the back roads, and Mendocino Village only a stunning coastal hour away, all make for great day trips.
