East Anglia
A historical name for a region in the eastern part of England, Great Britain. Originally it referred to the territory of the Kingdom of East Anglia, one of the seven Anglo-Saxon kingdoms of the Middle Ages, and the name means "East Angles." It is a vast area stretching from the Wash in the north to the mouth of the Thames in the south, bordering the North Sea in the east and the lowlands of Fenland in the west, and is centered on the present counties of Norfolk and Suffolk, as well as parts of Cambridgeshire and Essex. The terrain is gently undulating, and almost the entire area is covered with glacial deposits and alluvial soils.
