fun facts
The northeast region was the original thirteen colonies. As of 2007, forest-use covered approximately 60% of the Northeastern states (including Delaware, Maryland, and the District of Columbia), about twice the national average. About 12% was cropland and another 4% grassland pasture or range. There is also more urbanized land in the Northeast (11%) than any other region in the U.S. The Northeast region is home to 22 professional sports franchises in the "Big Four" leagues (NFL, NBA, NHL and MLB),[70] with more than 110 championships collectively among them.[71] The region has also been noted for the relative prevalence of the traditionally Northeastern sports of hockey and lacrosse.
