The name Appalachia has wide recognition across America. It is associated with the upland sections of at least 13 eastern states and has become associated with coal mining, poverty, welfare programs and traditional social values. But do the people who live within the region recognize Appalachia as a place that fits the name? A survey of college students in and adjacent to the region revealed that residents use a variety of directional and topographical terms as vernacular regional names. The term Appalachia has limited use and is largely restricted to the central and southern highlands
