Massachusetts ( minus the cape & Islands) thing everything east( or marginally closer to Boston) of them is Boston and West of them are Hicks and Hilbillies
Here in MN, the most "different" part of the state is the Iron Range. People up there (they call themselves "Rangers") are extremely proud despite the economic hard times that have befallen them.
As a former Ranger, we are very proud and quite full of ourselves
But despite the problems the region is facing, it is so scenic and one of the greatest hidden gems in the country. Love the Superior coast and the big ole hills to death.
People in Indiana bash on the southern portion of the state, somewhat unfairly, as being the northernmost part of the South and full of rednecks and hicks (quite a few BTW) but there is much more too it than just that. What's stereotyped even more is Gary, Indiana and much of the Chicago suburbs. Dirty, full of crime, gangs, etc. Sadly, much of that is true but some parts are very nice.
Maybe amongst some of the "rural dwellers" of Central PA, but little do they know they know that the urban areas -- and especially the Philly area -- actually subsidize much of their quality of life.
This question would be very differently answered depending on where in a state a person resides. You can definitely find a rural v. urban divide in many states, with the residents of each looking down on one another.
North Louisiana. Nobody considers it a part of Louisiana from the south and the culture is a bit different, much like south Arkansas and east Texas. Full of rednecks and Baptists. That doesn't sit too well with our southern brethen down south not to mention this is more or less Dallas Cowboy country. The Saints have made inroads in recent years up north however. Mardi Gras is once again big again. Crawfish ditto. So maybe there's hope after all.
