Overview
The Northeast covers a relatively small area but is densely populated, with more than 53.5 million people living in the states of New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Connecticut, and Rhode Island.

New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania are the most heavily populated states in the United States but also have plenty of farms, forests, rolling hills, and scenic rivers and lakes. These states played an integral role in the American Revolutionary War, and visitors come to see the area's many historic sites. Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Connecticut, and Rhode Island are collectively known as New England and are characterized by quaint towns, beautiful autumn colors, and scenic mountains. Recreational opportunities abound in the Northeast, from swimming in the Atlantic Ocean to visiting one of the region's many ski resorts. The Northeast experiences four distinct seasons, with relatively short summers, beautiful springs and falls, and long, cold, snowy winters.
