Appalachia...

The Appalachian Region is a region in the eastern United States that stretches from the southern part of New York to the north part of Alabama, Mississippi and Georgia.  According to the 2010 census, it is occupied by 25 million people. Below is a map displaying the Appalachian Region. 

Boston does not have a region like the Appalachian Region, but it does have an area called Greater Boston. Greater Boston is the area of the commonwealth of Massachusetts that surrounds the city of Boston.  Greater Boston contains many historic sites and artistic venues.  It has a huge emphasis on culture, finances, education, and tourism.
