The Great Lakes Region
The area around the Great Lakes (Lake Ontario, Lake Erie, Lake Huron, Lake Michigan and Lake Superior) has a heritage as America's former industrial heartland. Because many of the Great Lakes areas have seen industrial decline to varying degrees, they are often, perhaps inaccurately, referred to as "the Rust Belt." This industrial area runs in an arc from Buffalo, New York, to Erie, Pennsylvania, to Cleveland and Toledo, Ohio, to Detroit, Michigan, to Chicago, Illinois, to Milwaukee, Wisconsin and Duluth, Minnesota.
