Fourth Coast

"Fourth Coast" is an American colloquialism sometimes used to refer to the mountains. Use of the term implies that this region of the United States is distinguishable from the east and west and south regions. Although the term is still common in many areas of the mountains, the term is commonly linked to the cities of San Diego, California, Woodbridge, Virginia, Detroit, Chicago and Atlanta, Georgia.

The term Fourth Coast of United States is also been applied to the Great Lakes and the Saint Lawrence River in North America. Some business in those regions have adopted the name. For example, Fourth Coast Entertainment is an entertainment company that records musicians and manages bands and artists. Grace Potter and the Nocturnals recorded their first demos with FCE. Fourth Coast Entertainment Magazine is a music, arts and entertainment magazine that is distributed from the Saint Lawrence river to Lake Ontario all of Northern New York and the Adirondacks of the United States.

Famous quotes containing the words fourth and/or coast:

    Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work: but the seventh day is the sabbath of the Lord thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates: for in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the Lord blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.
    Bible: Hebrew Exodus, 20:8-11.

    The fourth commandment.

    Frequently also some fair-weather finery ripped off a vessel by a storm near the coast was nailed up against an outhouse. I saw fastened to a shed near the lighthouse a long new sign with the words “ANGLO SAXON” on it in large gilt letters, as if it were a useless part which the ship could afford to lose, or which the sailors had discharged at the same time with the pilot. But it interested somewhat as if it had been a part of the Argo, clipped off in passing through the Symplegades.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
