Is Georgia in the Mid-Atlantic Region? No—It's Southeastern

No. Georgia is located in the Southeastern United States, not the Mid-Atlantic.

Mid-Atlantic States (Standard Definitions)

• New York
• New Jersey
• Pennsylvania
• Delaware

• Virginia
• West Virginia

• Georgia

Why the Distinction Matters

• Climate: Georgia = humid subtropical (hot summers, mild winters); Mid-Atlantic = more temperate, colder winters.
• Culture: Deep South vs. Chesapeake/Northeast corridor.
• Economy: Georgia = logistics (Atlanta), film, agribusiness, ports (Savannah); Mid-Atlantic = finance, pharma, government, tech.
• Census Bureau: Places Georgia in "South Atlantic" division (Southeast).

Georgia is quintessentially Southern—peaches, peanuts, pecans, and all.
