How do you know Atlantic City was never been considered Southern but Wilmington was considered Southern at one point even though both Atlantic City and Wilmington is on the same parallel and about 50 miles from each other? So that means Wilmington was never considered Southern at one point either?
Neither of those cities were ever considered Southern.

Atlantic City was never considered Southern because it's in NJ which has never been considered a Southern state. Delaware, on the other hand, was historically considered a Southern state by many accounts. And proximity doesn't really mean anything since a boundary has to exist somewhere.

Right..
I love how people from other parts of the country try and tell locals how their own area is.
I know this is an old thread, but I couldn't read the whole thing without posting my opinion at the end. I believe, as several other people have said already, that Louisville is the northernmost southern city. As to the Great DC Controversy, without leaning too strongly either way-as I have limited experience with that place, I would add that growing up in Alabama, no one there would consider DC as a southern city, and would probably exclude the whole of northern Virginia.

I've heard of folks from Alabama that don't consider NC Southern.
Had she never been to NC before then? What made her think it wasn't Southern?
These days there are so many transplants from "up Nawth" they've diluted to nearly eliminated Southern culture in most major cities.
