NEW ENGLAND
New England includes six states of the USA- It's the smallest in area of all regions listed above;
Massachusetts, one of the New England states, derived its name from the Massachusetts Indians who peopled its shores before the colonists arrived. The term supposedly derived from two Indian words: massa meaning "great", and wachusett — "a mountain place."
Modern Massachusetts is often referred to as the "Old Colony State" or the "Puritan State." The people of Massachusetts and New Englanders ia general are often called "Bluenoses." Massachusetts' other nickname is "Beaneaters," etc.
The official nickname of Massachusetts is the "Bay State" (the people are "Bay Staters"), because it was originally the colony of Massachusetts Bay.
The capital of the state is Boston, New England's largest city.
Maine is the second of the six New England States. Sailors coasting downwind from Boston gave the shore its nickname, "Down East", and it is used now to denote the State of Maine and "down easters" are the people living in Maine. Four-fifth of Maine is covered by forests that feed its wood-processing industry. Hence its nicknames are the "Lumber State" and the "Pine-Tree State." Lumbering's being one of the chief occupations of the people. Maine is widely known in the USA as the "Switzerland of America" or "Vacationland." Its mountainous scenery and abundant (==much) snowfalls gave rise to these nicknames.
New Hampshire, the name of the state, was given to the territory by captain Mason in 1629. Prior (before)to his coming to America, Mason was governor of Portsmouth in Hampshire, England.
New Hampshire is a relatively small but well-wooded state of many mountains, lakes and rapid rivers.
New Hampshire has 222 towns (nicknamed "little republics").
New Hampshirites are very proud of the motto of then-State: "Live Free or Die".
Vermont, the only New England state lacking an ocean coast-line, is noted for independence of thought and action. There is a saying: "Vermonters will do nothing that you tell them to."
Called a "state in a very natural state" by poet Robert Frost, the state is known for its small quiet towns and villages, winding roads, covered bridges, and largely unspoiled scenery.
Maple sugar and syrup are among Vermont's better-known products. Vermont is, generally, by simple translation of the original French name, called the "Green Mountain State" and Vermonters — "Green Mountain Boys."
Rhode Island, the name of the state, is derived from the Dutch and means "the red island". Rhode Island, the nation's smallest state, is not an island.. little Rhody, the Southern Gateway of New England, and the Land of Roger Williams are the nicknames applied to Rhode Island '(Roger Williams founded Providence Plantation).
Connecticut^' the sixth state of New England, got its name from the river which had previously (=before) named by the natives and means "the long river." The state is divided by the Connecticut River into two almost equal regions. The southern section is home for many who work in New York City.
Connecticut's capital Hartford is home for nearly 40 firms in that field. There are many attractions, including Mark Twain's home, in Hartford. Here the humorist spent his most productive years writing "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer," "The Prince and the Pauper," "Life on the Mississippi," "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn," and "A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court."
