From the strong Latin culture in southern Florida and New York City, to the 200 year old Gullah culture of the low country coastal islands of Georgia and South Carolina, to the many historic cities in the Middle Atlantic where a strong English, German, Italian, Irish and French culture are present, the East Coast is significantly more diverse than the rest of the United States. ./cache/en-wikipedia-org-6282.html ./txt/en-wikipedia-org-6282.txt
