About New York

New York is the only state that touches both the Atlantic Ocean and the Great Lakes. Long Island reaches east into the Atlantic, and the Hudson flows south from the Adirondacks to New York Harbor. Lake Erie, Lake Ontario and the St. Lawrence River form much of its border with Canada. New York became the 11th state in 1788, after its convention at Poughkeepsie voted 30 to 27 to ratify the Constitution.

More than four in ten New Yorkers live in New York City, and many more live in its suburbs. Upstate, many towns grew up along the Erie Canal, which opened in 1825 and joined the Hudson to Lake Erie. Others began as Dutch river towns, mill towns, railroad stops and mountain resorts. The Haudenosaunee, or Six Nations, still have homelands here, and the Onondaga Nation near Syracuse keeps the Confederacy's central fire.

New York City and Long Island

Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx and Staten Island make up New York City, and Long Island stretches about 118 miles east from the harbor to Montauk Point. Hempstead, Oyster Bay, Huntington and Islip fill its suburbs, and farms, vineyards and beach towns spread across the East End. The English took Dutch New Amsterdam in 1664 and renamed it New York, after the Duke of York. The Montauk Point Lighthouse, finished in 1796, was the first lighthouse built in the state.

The Hudson Valley and the Catskills

The Hudson Valley runs north from Yonkers and White Plains past Newburgh, Poughkeepsie, Kingston and Hudson, and the Catskill Mountains rise to the west. In 1777, New York adopted its first constitution at Kingston, which became the state's first capital. West Point, on a bend of the Hudson, has trained Army officers since 1802. In 1969, the Woodstock festival was held on a dairy farm in Bethel, in Sullivan County.

Albany and the Capital Region

Albany, Troy and Schenectady sit near where the Mohawk meets the Hudson, with Saratoga Springs and the farms of Washington County to the north. The Dutch built Fort Orange at Albany in 1624, and the city still runs under its charter of 1686. In 1961, Congress honored Troy meatpacker Samuel Wilson, who fed the Army in the War of 1812, as the original Uncle Sam. Saratoga Race Course, first opened in 1863, is one of the oldest sports venues in the country.

The Adirondacks and the North Country

The North Country runs from Lake George and Lake Champlain west to the Thousand Islands of the St. Lawrence River, with Glens Falls, Plattsburgh, Watertown, Potsdam and Massena. The Adirondack Park, created in 1892, covers much of this land and is bigger than Yellowstone, Everglades, Glacier and Grand Canyon national parks combined. Lake Placid hosted the Winter Olympics in 1932 and 1980. In 1775, Ethan Allen and the Green Mountain Boys took Fort Ticonderoga from the British.

Central New York and the Mohawk Valley

The Mohawk Valley runs west from Amsterdam past Little Falls to Utica and Rome, and Central New York's hills and lakes spread around Syracuse, Auburn, Oswego and Cortland. Digging on the Erie Canal began at Rome on July 4, 1817. Salt springs by Onondaga Lake made Syracuse a major salt producer in the 1800s, which is why it's called the Salt City. The National Baseball Hall of Fame opened in 1939 in Cooperstown, on Otsego Lake.

Rochester and the Finger Lakes

Rochester, near Lake Ontario, is where George Eastman began selling his Kodak camera in 1888. To the south, the long, narrow Finger Lakes have Canandaigua, Geneva, Penn Yan and Ithaca at their ends and vineyards on their hills. The first women's rights convention met in Seneca Falls in July 1848. At Watkins Glen, a creek drops 400 feet in two miles, past 19 waterfalls.

The Southern Tier

The Southern Tier's hills and river valleys follow the Pennsylvania line, from Binghamton and Owego west to Elmira, Corning and Hornell, with Norwich to the north. Glassmakers moved their works to Corning in 1868, and the town grew into the Crystal City. Mark Twain wrote much of Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn in a study at Quarry Farm, near Elmira. George F. Johnson, head of the Endicott Johnson shoe company, gave six carousels to parks around Binghamton, on the condition that rides stay free.

Buffalo and Western New York

Buffalo and Niagara Falls sit on the Niagara River, Batavia and Medina lie in farm country to the east, and Jamestown and Olean are in the southern hills. Niagara Falls State Park, opened in 1885, is one of the oldest state parks in the country. Joseph Dart built the country's first steam-powered grain elevator in Buffalo in 1842, and giant elevators still line the Buffalo River. Chautauqua Institution began in 1874 as a summer camp for Sunday school teachers.
