Reply to comment by Away-Living5278 in Why do I find so many southeastern PA natives call the area “Central PA” when it’s not really central at all? by diffitt

York is further EAST, not further west.

I mean, during the 18th century, Carlisle was considered the beginnings of the west, the last settler town before the "frontier", but other than that...

Yeah sorry I meant maybe she thought of Cumberland as western bc her family was from more eastern PA. But she still stuck to it being western PA when I pushed back asking if she meant central.
