Populate field for every row

I have data from three different areas that have exactly the same structure.  When I load the data from these files, I want to have a field that says "Area" and populate it with the area to which the file corresponds. Is there a way to do this within the load script?

For example:

South (File 1):

Date                Sales

01/06/2018     $20

01/18/2018     $30       

------------------------------------

North (File 2):

Date               Sales

01/16/2018     $60

01/22/2018     $90  

------------------------------------

Loaded Fields

Date               Sales     Area

01/06/2018     $20        South

01/18/2018     $30        South

01/16/2018     $60        North

01/22/2018     $90        North
