👉 Mount Carleton Provincial Park in the context of Appalachia

Appalachia (locally /ˌæpəˈlæə/ AP-ə-LATCH) is a geographic region located in the Appalachian Mountains in the east of North America. In the north, its boundaries stretch from Mount Carleton Provincial Park in New Brunswick, Canada, continuing south through the Blue Ridge Mountains and Great Smoky Mountains into northern Georgia, Alabama, and Mississippi, with West Virginia near the center, being the only state entirely within the boundaries of Appalachia. In 2021, the region was home to an estimated 26.3 million people.

Since its recognition as a cultural region in the late 19th century, Appalachia has been a source of enduring myths and distortions regarding the isolation, temperament, and behavior of its inhabitants. Early 20th-century writers often engaged in yellow journalism focused on sensationalistic aspects of the region's culture, such as moonshining and clan feuding, portraying the region's inhabitants as uneducated and unrefined; although these stereotypes still exist to a lesser extent today, sociological studies have since begun to dispel them.
