Maine

Explanation:

[STC001652] If you’ve ever been through a nor’easter, you won’t be shocked to find that people from Maine are occasionally referred to as “downeasters.” Even an Amtrak route with the same name, which starts in Brunswick and finishes in Boston, is named for the Down East part of the Pine Tree State. The term is credited to sailors who used it to describe the forceful winds that would blow them “downwind” as they traveled east while transporting commodities to and from New England in the late 18th century. The moniker has endured even though Mainers are not as closely associated with it as Indians are with Hoosiers.
