Lancaster Pa- Appalachia???

Is Lancaster Pa, considered the East or Appalachia? I seek simple advice on a simple matter.

Thank you

Hi Ernie,

I would definitely not consider it appalachia. The Appalachian Mountain Ranges are further east. And when I think of Appalachia, I think of more southern, and also coal mining. This is my opinion. I am very open to a different opinion.
