History

Main article: History of Canada

Cascadia is a geological, ecological and climatic region of North America. It is generally bounded by the Cascade Range and the Pacific Ocean, but interpretations of the region often include other areas as well. Its ecoregions are distinct from those of the more arid lands to the east and south, and so its agriculture and forestry also vary.

It is often claimed that the region also has a shared political culture. In his book Nine Nations of North America, author Joel Garreau claimed that the Pacific Rim region he called Ecotopia had a different culture from that of what he called The Empty Quarter to the east, and was necessarily different economically as well as ecologically. It must be noted that the concept of "Ecotopia," which is specific in its boundaries, does not identically match that of "Cascadia," which varies in its definition.
