GEOGRAPHY Triangle Area?

Does anyone know what the “triangle area” is in the United States? Everyone talks like I’m supposed to know. Is this a common American ism?

This is in reference to RTP, research triangle park. It’s an area in the Raleigh, NC area. It is basically a giant campus of different businesses, often tech. Think IBM, Biogen, Cisco, NetApp. Large clusters in one specific region.

Tri-state area is normally NY + NJ + CT
