Answers:
Umm, perhaps the versions of Kolaches that you are referring to are indigenous to the southern part of the U.S., but I live in the Northeast (NJ) and have had them before, only the more traditional version w/ fruit and cheese (from Polish places). So they actually are in more places than just the south.
A kolache (also spelled kolace, kolach, or kolacky, from the Czech and Slovak plural kolá?e) is a type of pastry consisting of fillings ranging from fruits to cheeses inside a bread roll. Originally only a sweet dessert from Central Europe, they have become popular in parts of the United States.
In Texas and Oklahoma, several restaurants and bakeries specialize in kolaches; popular areas in central Texas include the communities of West[1]and Schulenburg, as well as the Nebraska town of Wilber, which have large Czech populations (see the Czech Stop and Kountry Bakery links below). These restaurants and bakeries now sell varieties for all meals of the day and include versions such as Philly cheesesteak, ranchero, and chocolate cream cheese.
A related dish is a klobasnek, which often uses similar bread but is filled with a piece of sausage. These are properly known as kolaches in the idiolect of many Texans. They may also contain ham and cheese, sausage, jalape?o slices, and more resemble a "pig in a blanket" than the original pastry. There is also a sweet and flakey filled pastry with Polish origins called the Kolachky.

Hope I helped some.
Bought them in Ohio all the time; ethnic as much as regional I think
the south american (not mexican, portugal and chile) have the empanada, very similar to kolaches, you need to get them southern boys turned on to scrapple more.
Um it is called regional food.
I live in VA. I have all my life & I have NEVER heard of a kolache.
This site below does NOT support your theory.
Most of the recipes I searched for kolache had prunes in them.
Never heard of it. I've heard of knishes...
I'm Polish-American and I know kolachkes as Polish cookies. The sweet dough crust includes sour cream in the recipe. They can be filled with a sweet cheese, prune paste or poppyseeds. Come up north to Chicago to taste some good ones. What you are describing sounds like egg or sausage McMuffins.
