The Atlantic Periphery
The Atlantic Periphery includes Newfoundland, Labrador, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, and New Brunswick, Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont and Eastern part of New York. This area was the first to be discovered by the Europeans. This area has faced steady reduction in population because people tend to leave this area for more metropolitan areas. Most of the Atlantic Periphery is apart of the Appalachian Mountains. This area’s weather has cool to mid summers and cold, snowy winters, similar to the northern part of Megalopolis. Rain is seen throughout the year and snow covers the land for most of the areas during winter. The Atlantic Periphery is known to be a peripheral area, meaning it is economically weak and depends on choices and policies founded in other areas, like New York City or other Megalopolis areas. During the 1900s to 2000s, the Atlantic Periphery is dominated by the economy of Megalopolis. The peripheral situation for the Atlantic Periphery is due to marginal agriculture, lack of natural resources, lack of urbanization and isolation. Since Megalopolis are and The Atlantic Periphery are close together in proximity, there tends to be some spillovers. The population tends to spillover from the 5 metropolitan cities of Megalopolis, including New York City and it is evident through tourism, permanent-in migration, and second-home development.
