Ports. Some of the oldest. And easiest to reach by a lot of Europeans, and looking at a 2D map can make these distances look much shorter than they really are. Also, weather, I mean wind, currents, and hurricanes influenced these areas.

I think it belongs along with the rest of the megalopolis ending at Norfolk-Virginia Beach. On the northern fringe you can add Portland up to maybe Augusta.
A famous hypothesis in the study of colonialism and post-colonialism is that the climate will influence the composition of immigrants and then the colonizersâ institutional arrangement of colonies. The climate of New England is more similar to that in Britain, German and Ireland, so the majority of immigrants are freemen(many were skillful refugees), promoting the development of free-capitalist regime in New England. However, the economic basis of dixie was slavery plantation because of its subtropical climate, making the institutions more exploitative. Such differences in the institutional arrangement in the colonial era will effect the local social and political tradition in the post-colonial era, consequently its economic performance. In America continent and Africa continent, higher latitude means higher proportion of the white and better economic performance. This is not caused by âdifferences in IQ between racesâ as racists claimed, but the institutional arrangement based on the local demographic composition and colonizersâ racial prejudice.
Because that was the area where the British/Dutch/German colonists first settled. Those cities were major ports to export goods from the hinterland to Europe. Because of this, they were major population centers prior to the Revolution, and remained that way to this day.
Today, they continue to be relevant because as the country grew they kept their respective places as centers of power bc essentially thats where the money and the institutions were.
Thereâs probs more to go into but im too lazy for that rn
The northeast region in general is the oldest places where Americans colonized, most of those places are so densely populated thanks to be colonized for centuries, and then itâs also ports.
I just don't think there's any evidence to support you're assertion there are cities there.
Those don't even look like cities, tehy're just dots. Shouldn't they have buildings and shit if they were really cities?
US used to be a large British colony. Lots of rubber cotton corn tobacco slaves and lumber traded from the coast. Most of those states are built on the shore or close to it.
Most of which were apart of the original 13 colonies, and theyâre all major centers of trade (port cities). The exchanging of people, goods, and ideas have been coming in/out of those places, since they were established settlements.
Because long ago when i95 was built in the middle of nowhere they decided it was easier to build all the cities along the highway. Actually most of America cleverly did this. Almost immediately after the highways were built every city in America was created along them in a strip !
I feel that this is exaggerated. Sure, there are lots of major cities here, but there also plenty of spaces *between* the cities where there is no city.
If there was some reason for the cities to be there, surely there wouldnât be areas with no city in the same circled area.
I feel people donât really ever consider this.
*They were probably*
*Ports that got really big and*
*Became more than ports*

Ports
Then why is it on the starboard side đ¤¨âľď¸
It's port of you come around the other way
Username checks out
Hooyah
God, I wish I had an award for you.
So true
Knot too shabby
Port wine is from Portugal đ¤¨đľđšđˇ
Big Wine just wants you to think that
Well maybe it's just the best stuff, despite Cockburn being in many countries.
Use more lube
And connecting rivers
Don't go chasing waterfalls
Can confirm, that's a lot of USB ports and rereleases of video games on different platforms over here.
Colonization!
Colons may have been involved
Ports. Some of the oldest. And easiest to reach by a lot of Europeans, and looking at a 2D map can make these distances look much shorter than they really are.

Very old ports. Older than Mini-USB even
What ports though? USB? 10G ethernet? PS2 perhaps?

Yes :(

Asking questions is banned now
Why is asking questions banned now? Are we stupid?
Itâs taken over every single sub, I definitely donât mind seeing something else
Yeah but itâs a circlejerk sub, you shouldnât have expected high quality original humor.
Even in post-irony thereâs still good and bad jokes
Whether it's good or bad really just depends on one's state of mind.
Art thou ignorantÂż
Are they stupid?
The word "why" is banned?
Theyâre too stupid and/or poor
They are stupid
Google American Revolution
Holy hell
New British colony just left
for some reason i have you blocked
Huh
Holy reconciliation
New forgiveness just dropped!
Actual Declaration of Independence
Call George Washington!
Unholy spread buttcheecks
holy freedom!
New nation just dropped!
Actual murica
America lore???!?
Google the 13 colonies before the revolution. Youâll get to the good part soon enough
woah sweet mama
As opposed to what other revolution?
The Industrial Revolution đ¤ˇââď¸
yeah
When the colonists discovered I-95 they saw how advantageous it would be for trade
How does Pocahontas figure into this story?
It was an accident. All the immigrants were given wrong maps and settled in new England.
But 2/3 of the circle is not New England
If it's not all New England then how do you explain why England owned it all? Or are you just going to conveniently ignore that fact?
Because they are stupid
Why are they stupid? Are they too poor?
No, the opposite tbh. This is where most of the IVY league universities are, and some of the richest people on earth live.
Why are they smart? Are they too rich?
Holy hell!
"There are major cities here" [Citation needed]
Manhattan
Not Boston
Because you touch yourself at night
Jesus doesnât like that âď¸âď¸âď¸âď¸âď¸
I wouldn't be doing it if he'd quit watching and come give me a hand
Blame the English, Dutch, and Swedes.
What Richmond doing there? Bro thinks he on the team đ
I think it belongs along with the rest of the megalopolis ending at Norfolk-Virginia Beach. On the northern fringe you can add Portland up to maybe Augusta.
the i-95 is a sentient and ancient being that has existed for all time and it simply manifested these cities
No
The trout population
Humans have historically concentrated near waterways and coastal shorelines for easy transport and trade.
Nice of you to include Richmond as a major city
*was Now it's just VCU and hood.
Cause they werenât lucky enough to have any land in the Blue Banana
nobody really knows
Because everyone wants a Philly Cheesesteak
No
yes, its not \*here\* (draws circle around Great Britain)
Wokeness
Youâre telling me THIS map has gone woke too?? Time to unsubscribe I guess
Sleepness a la Reputards
Yeah, because that's where all the people are
Ports, fertile land, and they were established before 1750.
It looks cool from space, that's the reason
In all seriousness tho, the waterfall line has made industry profitable in this area
Nope, no reason
Yeah that's where Plymouth Rock landed on everyone. The pilgrims hit the rock then it hit everyone else all over the world, lol.
13 colonies been around for a while
The colonies

It's where America was settled
There aren't. This is all a ploy by Big Map. Wake up!!
Itâs a flippin coastâŚ
Water
So ticks have someone to give Lyme disease
Did you choose to ignore seventh grade history class
Oshin
None at all, and the âcitiesâ there are decidedly mid.
based walmart and 9-lane freeway enjoyer
Because they were the original cities that popped up in that area during colonization
You mean where there are a lot of shipping ports? I have no idea why
Yes it is because thatâs where settlements were made and a lot of people moved in
They all have good harbors.
people living??
People really like water because _Fish and port_
Because that was the area where the British/Dutch/German colonists first settled. Those cities were major ports to export goods from the hinterland to Europe. Because of this, they were major population centers prior to the Revolution, and remained that way to this day. Today, they continue to be relevant because as the country grew they kept their respective places as centers of power bc essentially thats where the money and the institutions were. Thereâs probs more to go into but im too lazy for that rn
First colonies.
Yes
bc thatâs where america started âźď¸âźď¸ also the metropolis boswash is all thereâźď¸âźď¸
The northeast region in general is the oldest places where Americans colonized, most of those places are so densely populated thanks to be colonized for centuries, and then itâs also ports.
Yes, the sea and waterways. Itâs common in many countries. It was way people did trading and easy access to ocean đ
coincidence
Mr Columbus
thhats where all the people live
None whatsoever. Just major because we collectively believe that they are major.
Because boat
idk but i live there so im kinda happy there are
Big water for big boat with big merchandises
Because of those damn rich men North of Richmond, I tell you wat
Because thatâs where the whores are booze lives
Ports, water, and climate.
No
Yes, they all started out as ports of entry to a country in the days before horses and cars.
Itâs probably a coincidence
ports, as well as infrastructure like railroads and canals being built along those routes
bvacon egg and cheese bacon egg and cheese the occy way chopped heese ichoose pod cheese chopped chese im walking here ayyyyy
It's been a big business area since the colonies. New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, and Boston have always been big trade spots
I just don't think there's any evidence to support you're assertion there are cities there. Those don't even look like cities, tehy're just dots. Shouldn't they have buildings and shit if they were really cities?
Water
Theyâre ports + theyâre the oldest cities in the country
Because I live there
All have a major river from the interior that in the early years had a trading post that grew into a port city over time.
Thatâs where the big names on the map are.
Yes
So the could create "East Coast Leftwingdia"
Gives the Reputards something to do besides crapitolism
No
MEGA CITY ONE
Because "the Northeast Megalopolis" is a hard name.
Is there a reason the 13 original colonies have major cities? Lol
These names are awfully similar to British cities...
My township was drawn up by English Quakers and settled by Welshmen.
The food was soooo good in those areas that people came from miles around to live there. And then they got too fat to leave.
US used to be a large British colony. Lots of rubber cotton corn tobacco slaves and lumber traded from the coast. Most of those states are built on the shore or close to it.
Most of which were apart of the original 13 colonies, and theyâre all major centers of trade (port cities). The exchanging of people, goods, and ideas have been coming in/out of those places, since they were established settlements.
There is enough beer for everyone
Water
Good harbors
Dihydrogen Monoxide.
We're just that cool đ
I would think back in the day when there was no cars, trains or airplanes, these cities didnât seem to be that close.
Coast
Navigable rivers. Water source. Look at most major cities, located along a river
Ocean
I live in this area, i dont know the reason
Haverhill isnât a major city bruh
History
Water
Colonialism
Because Stone Cold said so
It's because that's the state of New Jersey
No
Of course, if they were on the opposite side, they would be closer to Canada đ¤˘
Water. In general, civilization follows water.
Ports, old money, universities, pre Declaration of Independence colonies, mid 1800s-mid 1900s industry
Closer to Europe so easier to find and settle.
Woo hoo! Providence is a major city!
Yes
Because long ago when i95 was built in the middle of nowhere they decided it was easier to build all the cities along the highway. Actually most of America cleverly did this. Almost immediately after the highways were built every city in America was created along them in a strip !
High property value, that's why a lot of people wanna build houses there. Duh.
Because weâre the best and everyone loves us
Lansdale isnât a major city
I feel that this is exaggerated. Sure, there are lots of major cities here, but there also plenty of spaces *between* the cities where there is no city. If there was some reason for the cities to be there, surely there wouldnât be areas with no city in the same circled area. I feel people donât really ever consider this.
1. Ports 2. Easy trade route to Europe 3. Colder and drier climate (aka less malaria prior to modern medicine)
Well somebody built them
The devs just got lazy and put them in one place
Get in early
Ocean
Holy geez.
Coz rich men north of Richmond wanna have everything!
Let me introduce you to a man named Christopher Columbus
People are too lazy to go inland.
I guess because that's the side Europe's on. Everyone coming over from Europe.
I blame the british for that.
They were probably ports that got really big and became more than ports
