why do you think the northern states were the more heavily populated ones for so long? Because people liked winter?

A lot of these areas have 20% or more growth!
I think the northern and the northeastern states were once more populated because people had not yet ventured out west. It wasn't until the early 1900's that lots of people headed west. And certainly big time after WWII. I also believe lots of people were farmers or ranchers and these areas although colder do grow lots of produce.
My father was born and raised on a farm in MN in 1908 and he hated the cold so much that he headed west the day he turned 18...
