New York State Information

New York officially known as the State of New York, is a state in the Northeastern United States. It is often called New York State to distinguish it from its largest city, New York City. New York City (NYC) is the most populous city in the United States, and around two-thirds of the state's population lives in the New York metropolitan area, the world's largest urban landmass. New York was one of the original Thirteen Colonies forming the United States. The tribes in what is now New York were predominantly Iroquois (Haudenosaunee) and Algonquian. Long Island was divided roughly in half between the Wampanoag and Lenape. (learn more)
