What is now the Northeast
Region of the United States
was settled by Europeans
many years ago.
The land that they arrived
on was rich in natural
resources and had very
beautiful scenery. The
immigrants who arrived in
the Northeast Region found
a wonderful place to begin
a new life. The Northeast
represents strength and
new beginnings.
