The vast New England industrial region comprises six states, namely Connecticut, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine. This is the largest single industrial region on earth. The nucleus of the region is Boston Metropolitan region. The major industries in this region are electrical machinery, textiles, machinery, leather, fabricated metals and other industries.

In fact, industrial structure here is very diversified. This is one of the oldest industrial regions in USA,contributing 15 per cent of the yearly output of the nation. The major centres in this region are Connecticut, Massachusetts, and Rhode Island. This industrial region enjoys advantages of huge capital, good communication, export facilities, cheap and skilled labour and vast market.

The entire industrial region is broadly divided into eastern and western part. In the eastern part, the major industrial areas are Provi­dence, Brookston, New Bedford and Merrimac valley. In the western part, the major centres are Hartford, New Heaven and Springfield. Most of the traditional industries are located in the eastern region, while western region possesses the industries of high growth rate.

This is the region having greatest concentration of ferrous industries. This region accounts about 1/4th of ferrous and Ferro-alloy products of the country. The famous Youngstown-Pittsburg-Johnstown iron and steel triangle is located in the region.
