Portions of western Schuylkill and Northumberland counties are also located in South Central Pennsylvania. Despite the designation "South Central Pennsylvania," many of the counties are geographically located in the southeastern portion of the state. Lancaster is the largest city in the region. Harrisburg, with a population of 49,528, is the second largest city in the region with a metropolitan area of 643,820 people, and is the capital of Pennsylvania. York is the other significant city in the region. The Harrisburg-Lancaster-York television market (which formally includes Adams, Cumberland, Dauphin, Franklin, Juniata, Lancaster, Lebanon, Mifflin, Perry, and York counties) is the 39th largest market in the United States. == Description == South Central Pennsylvania is notable for its large Amish and Mennonite populations in its rural areas, but the area also has significant African American and Puerto Rican populations in many of its urban cities, particularly York, Harrisburg, Lancaster, Lebanon, and Reading. Between 1700-1950, the area was historically settled by ethnic German, Dutch, Italian, Irish, and English populations. Many residents of the southern portion of this area commute to Baltimore especially from York County. The area is home of the Pennsylvania state capital, being the site of the bloodiest battlefield of the Civil War, and being the home of Hershey's chocolate and the York Peppermint Pattie. South Central Pennsylvania has also hosted two former capitals of the United States during the American Revolution: Lancaster and York. The region is drained primarily by the Susquehanna River, flowing southwards to Chesapeake Bay and further to the Atlantic Ocean. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「South Central Pennsylvania」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
