"Internal migration" refers to movement from one region to another. Although international migration receives more attention, the greater portion of mobility occurred within or between regions as people relocated their labor, material wealth, and cultural notions. Fundamentally, shifts in migration patterns originate in changes in landholding, employment, demographic patterns, and the location of capital. Long-standing patterns of mobility changed about 1750, when a marked population increase and proliferation of rural industry settled rural people in manufacturing towns and villages, while those in other regions took to the road. The industrialization of the 19th century produced an urban society and high migration rates that subsequently abated in the 20th century.
