1 The Southeast Region was established August 7, 1937, as Region One with Headquarters in Richmond, Virgina and covered the eastern United States except National Capital Parks, but including Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands. Region Five was established in 1955 with Headquarters in Philadelphia, thus eliminating the northeastern states from Region One and four eastern states from Region Two. In 1962 the name was changed to Southeast Region. The Commonwealth of Virginia transferred to the Northwest Region on November 15, 1971. The Southeast Regional Headquarters moved from Richmond to Atlanta, Georgia on January 9, 1972. The region includes presently the states of Alabama, Georgia, Florida, Kentucky, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Puerto Rico and Virgin Islands.
