The Appalachian Mountains are a cultural region in the Eastern United States that stretches from the Belle Isle in Canada to Cheaha Mountain in Alabama. The cultural part of Appalachia typically refers only to the central and southern portions of the range. The Appalachians have been a source of enduring myths and distortions regarding isolation, temperament, and behavior of its inhabitants.

Appalachia has been struggling for a long time with poverty. The construction of dams provides cheap electricity and implementation of better farming practices. Steps have been taken to ensure better health care and educational opportunities to the region.
