Line 23: Historically [[Maryland]] and [[Delaware]] were considered part of the [[Southern United States]] due to their [[Slave state]] status and the [[United States Census Bureau\|Census Bureau]] still places them in that region. However, due to their higher levels of [[urbanization]] and industrialization they are now usually considered part of the Mid-Atlantic. Southern influence has waned considerably in Delaware and the metropolitan areas of Maryland, but remains present around the [[Eastern Shore]], [[Western Maryland]], and [[Southern Maryland]]. The same could be said for [[~~Virginia~~Vigina]] and [[West ~~Virginia~~Vigina]] which are often placed in this region as due to their geographic position. The [[United States Environmental Protection Agency\|EPA]] and [[United States Geological Survey\|USGS]] both include those states in their respective Mid-Atlantic administrative regions. ==History==
