It is between the coastal plain and mountains regions in the middle part of the state is the location of the Piedmont region of North Carolina.

Explanation:

Piedmont is the middle zone of the state, found between the Coastal Plain and the Mountain regions. Piedmont is a French term denoting "foot of the mountain." The border among the Coastal Plain and Piedmont is called the fall line or fall zone. The field of Piedmont is called a plateau because it is large and chiefly flat.

The Piedmont region extends about 200 miles from the Fall Line to the Blue Ridge Mountains. Piedmont is made up of plateaus, rounded hills, and low ridges.
