The '''Mid-Atlantic''' is a [[List of regions of the United States|region of the United States]] located in the eastern part of the country.

The region was known in the 17th century as the "[[Middle Colonies]]" during the [[Colonial history of the United States|colonial era]], initially including four colonial provinces, the [[Delaware Colony]] and the provinces of [[Province of New Jersey|New Jersey]], [[Province of New York|New York]], and [[Province of Pennsylvania|Pennsylvania]], each of which were among the [[Thirteen Colonies]] in pre-[[American Revolution|revolutionary]] [[British America]]. Afterwards, the area was recognized geographically as the "Middle States", with Maryland, Virginia and in some instances [[North Carolina]] included, as well as the [[Ohio Territory]].

As of the [[2020 United States census|2020 census]], the region had a population of 60,783,913, representing slightly over 18% of the nation's population. The Mid-Atlantic is a relatively affluent region of the nation; nearly half of the nation's 100 [[List of U.S. states and territories by income|highest-income counties]] based on [[median household income]] are located in the Mid-Atlantic, and 33 of the nation's top 100 counties based on [[per capita income]] are in the region. Most of the Mid-Atlantic states rank among the 15 [[States of the United States of America by income|highest-income states]] in the nation by both median household income and per capita income.

The Mid-Atlantic region played an instrumental and historic role in the nation's founding and the development of the nation. Six of the seven states were members of the [[Thirteen Colonies]] that sent delegates to the [[Second Continental Congress]], which assembled in [[Philadelphia]] and unanimously adopted the [[United States Declaration of Independence|Declaration of Independence]], and formalized the [[Continental Army]] under [[George Washington]]'s command during the [[American Revolutionary War]]. Following independence, the states again gathered in Philadelphia at the [[Constitutional Convention (United States)|Constitutional Convention]], in 1788, where they ratified the [[Constitution of the United States|United States Constitution]], which remains the oldest and longest-standing written and codified national constitution in force in the world.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Gorman |first=Sean |title=Goodlatte says U.S. has the oldest working national constitution |url=https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2014/sep/22/bob-goodlatte/goodlatte-says-us-has-oldest-working-national-cons/ |access-date=2025-08-27 |website=@politifact |language=en-US}}</ref>

The Mid-Atlantic region was settled during the [[Colonial history of the United States|colonial era]] between the early 17th century and the conclusion of the American Revolutionary War in 1783 by [[European Americans]] of primarily [[Dutch people|Dutch]], [[Germans|German]], [[Swedes|Swedish]], [[English people|English]], and other [[Western Europe]]an ethnicities. Religious pluralism and freedoms existed in the original [[Thirteen Colonies]] and were particularly prevalent in [[Province of Pennsylvania]] and the geographic region that ultimately broke from Pennsylvania to form the [[Delaware Colony]]. Among the 13 colonies, the [[Province of Maryland]] was the only colony with a substantial [[Catholic Church|Catholic]] population.

Following the American Revolutionary War, the Mid-Atlantic region hosted each of the [[List of capitals in the United States|historic capitals of the United States]]. The nation's capital was constructed in [[Washington, D.C.]] in the late 18th century, and relocated there from Philadelphia in 1800.

In the early part of the 19th century, New York and Pennsylvania overtook Virginia as the nation's two most populous states, and the Mid-Atlantic region overtook [[New England]] as the most important trading and industrial center in the nation. During this period, large numbers of [[German Americans|German]], [[Irish Americans|Irish]], [[Italian Americans|Italian]], [[Jewish Americans|Jewish]], [[Polish Americans|Polish]], and other [[Immigration to the United States|immigrants]] arrived in the region's coastal cities, including [[Baltimore]], [[Newark, New Jersey|Newark]], [[New York City]], Philadelphia, and interior cities such as [[Pittsburgh]], and [[Rochester, New York|Rochester]], [[Albany, New York|Albany]], and [[Buffalo, New York|Buffalo]], the latter of which is also included in the [[Great Lakes region]], with their skyscrapers and subways, which emerged as icons of [[modernity]] and American economic and cultural power in the 20th century.

In the late 19th century, the region played a vital and historic role in the development of [[American culture]], commerce, trade, and [[Secondary sector of the economy|industry sectors]].<ref>{{Cite web |year=2009 |title=United States |url=http://search.eb.com/eb/article-77992 |access-date=April 9, 2009 |website=[[Encyclopædia Britannica]]}}</ref>

The [[Northeast Corridor]] and [[Interstate 95]] in the region link an almost contiguous urban region, which includes large and small cities and their respective suburbs and forms the [[Northeast megalopolis]], one of the world's most important concentrations of finance, media, communications, [[Higher education|education]], medicine, and technology.

The region is home to eight of the top 25 ranked universities in the nation: [[Cornell University]] in [[Ithaca, New York]]; [[Columbia University]] in [[New York City]]; [[Princeton University]] in [[Princeton, New Jersey]]; the [[University of Pennsylvania]] in [[Philadelphia]]; [[Carnegie Mellon University]] in [[Pittsburgh]]; [[Johns Hopkins University]] in [[Baltimore]], [[Georgetown University]] in [[Washington, D.C.]]; and the [[University of Virginia]] in [[Charlottesville, Virginia]] according to [[U.S. News & World Report Best Colleges Ranking|''U.S. News & World Report'' Best Colleges Ranking]].<ref>{{Cite web|title=National University Rankings|url=https://www.usnews.com/best-colleges/rankings/national-universities|access-date=February 21, 2022|website=U.S. News & World Report}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|title=Best Global Universities Rankings|url=https://www.usnews.com/education/best-global-universities/rankings|access-date=February 21, 2022|website=U.S. News & World Report}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=U.S. News & World Report Best Colleges Ranking |url=https://www.usnews.com/best-colleges/rankings/national-universities |access-date=January 14, 2024 |website=U.S. News & World Report}}</ref>

[[File:Line3174 - Shipping Containers at the terminal at Port Elizabeth, New Jersey - NOAA.jpg|thumb|[[Intermodal container|Shipping containers]] at [[Port Newark–Elizabeth Marine Terminal]] in the [[Port of New York and New Jersey]]]]
Shipping and trade have been important to the Mid-Atlantic economy since the beginning of the colonial era. The explorer [[Giovanni da Verrazzano]] was the first European to see the region in 1524. [[Henry Hudson]] later extensively explored that region in 1611 and claimed it for the Dutch, who then created a fur-trading post in [[Albany, New York|Albany]] in 1614. [[Jamestown, Virginia]] was the first permanent English colony in North America, it was established seven years earlier in 1607.

From early colonial times, the Mid-Atlantic region was settled by a wider range of European people than in New England or the South. The Dutch [[New Netherland]] settlement along the [[Hudson River]] in [[New York City]] and [[New Jersey]], and for a time, [[New Sweden]] along the [[Delaware River]] in [[Delaware]], divided the two great bulwarks of English settlement from each other. The original English settlements in the region notably provided refuge to religious minorities, [[Maryland]] to [[Roman Catholic Church|Roman Catholics]] and [[Pennsylvania]] to [[Religious Society of Friends|Quakers]] and [[Anabaptist]] [[Pennsylvania Dutch]]. In time, all these settlements fell under English colonial control, but the region continued to be a magnet for people of diverse nationalities.

The area that came to be known as the [[Middle Colonies]] served as a strategic bridge between the North and South. The [[New York and New Jersey campaign]] during the [[American Revolutionary War]] saw more battles than any other theater of the conflict. [[Philadelphia]], midway between the northern and southern colonies, was home to the [[Continental Congress]], the convention of delegates who organized the [[American Revolution]]. Philadelphia also was the birthplace of the [[United States Declaration of Independence|Declaration of Independence]] in 1776 and the [[United States Constitution]] in 1787, while the [[United States Bill of Rights]] was drafted and ratified and the first [[Supreme Court of the United States]] sat for the first time, in the first capital under the [[Constitution of New York]].

While early settlers were mostly farmers, traders, and fishermen, the Mid-Atlantic states provided the young United States with [[heavy industry]] and served as the "[[melting pot]]" of new [[Immigration to the United States|immigrants]] from Europe. Cities grew along major ports, shipping routes, and waterways, including New York City and [[Newark, New Jersey|Newark]] on opposite sides of the [[Hudson River]], Philadelphia on the Delaware River, [[Allentown, Pennsylvania|Allentown]] on the [[Lehigh River]], and [[Baltimore]] on the [[Chesapeake Bay]].
