I live in New York and while I've heard the term, I've never really known what curds were or knowingly ate them. I vaguely thought they might be what made cottage cheese lumpy, but I never gave the matter much thought. I mostly know them from the Little Miss Muffet nursery rhyme.
I don't think it's regional. I live in PA, and have eaten plenty of cheese curds. they're very tasty.
