Well thats an easy one.

If they *exactly* join,
http://postgis.refractions.net/documentation/manual-1.4/ST_Union.html

if they are a bit squishy, then one simple way is to:
- st_buffer the multiple polygons all individually outwards by say 10km,
- st_union them into a single polygon
- st_buffer that one polygon inwards (negative) 10km

Hopefully helpful contribution from one noob to another.

Greetings,

Could someone please recommend how to create a polygon from a set of polygons?

Specifically, a group of states (say, a set of contiguous northeastern United 
States) and from that form the polygon containing this region

Much thanks,

Max Pyziur
