Heartland is a geopolitical term used to refer to the central areas of Eurasia and the United States. In Eurasia it is remote and inaccessible from the periphery. The term Heartland has a particular importance in the works of Sir Halford Mackinder. He believed that the Heartland was the strategic region of the foremost importance in the world. See Heartland (geopolitics). The term Heartland is also frequently used to describe the region in the United States that lies west of the Ohio River and Mississippi River and east of the Rocky Mountains. It is also used for other areas of the US which are culturally similar to the Heartland; for example, the Stater Bros. supermarket chain, which is concentrated in the Inland Empire counties of southern and central California, ran TV commercials for many years using the slogan "in the Heartland" to refer to inland counties such as San Bernardino County, Kern County and Riverside County being culturally more similar to the central United States than to coastal California. In addition, the term can also be applied to the central region of any nation of economic, geopolitical or cultural significance.
