southwestern United States
The Southwestern area of the United States could be defined as the states south, or for the most part west of the Mississippi River, with the qualification of a certain northern limit, such as the 37, or 38, or 39, or 40 degree north line.
The Southwest is more ethnically varied than neighboring regions, with significant European American, Mexican American, Asian American, and American Indian populations.
The area also contains large cities and metropolitan areas, despite its the low population density in rural areas. Phoenix, Los Angeles, Dallas, San Antonio, San Diego and Houston all rank among the top ten most populous cities in the country[50 most populous cities in the U.S., Infoplease.com]. Fort Worth, Las Vegas, Nevada and Austin are in the top 20.[50 most populous cities in the U.S., Infoplease.com] Many of the states in this region, such as New Mexico and Arizona, have witnessed some of the highest population growth in the United States. Urban areas in this region, like Las Vegas, Nevada, Albuquerque, Phoenix and El Paso are some of the fastest growing cities in the country.
food
Tex-Mex cuisine was popularized in Texas[History of Tex-Mex food at FoodTimeline.com], and has spread to many other areas, both in Texas and in other nearby western states. New Mexican cuisine includes a notable focus on its respective regional emphasis on chile spice, more particularly the famous "Hatch Green Chile." Arizona's very popular Arizona-Sonoran cuisine holds its own meld of northern Mexican states' love of heavy sauces, as well as that regional respect for chile heat. The San burrito and "Fresh Mex" or style of Mexican food is also commonly associated with the Southwest.
