Virginia Northeast?

[Falaris]

I grew up in VA and have always heard us referenced as Southeast. Not that it matters much I guess but it is new to me to be considered Northern.

Yep, if your state was part of the Confederate states, I'm not sure you can be a northeastern Yankee. Haha.

I also was born and raised here in Northern VA, and have always heard of Virginia being in the Northeast (DMV - DC, Maryland and Virginia). Odd. What part of VA are you in?

What part of VA are you in?

@Luminary I Grew up in Midlothian, just outside of Richmond. Spent my Navy years mostly in Hampton Roads area and now am in a small town 30 minutes south of Fredericksburg called Port Royal.

30 minutes south of Fredericksburg

Maybe that is the difference? Northern vrs Southern VA. I am about 30 minutes north west of Fredericksburg.

Funny enough...Northern Virginia is often called part of Northeast. The rest of VA is considered Southeastern.

More specifically, VA falls in the Mid-Atlantic South.

I think we need our own Sub-Forum.

Northeast -
Virginia -
Southeast -

That works!
