New York
New York is a state in the Northeastern United States. It was one of the original thirteen colonies forming the United States. With a total area of 54,556 square miles (141,300 km²),^[2] New York is the 27th largest state geographically. Its population of more than 20 million people makes it the fourth most populous state in the United States as of 2020.^[6][9][10] The state is bordered by New Jersey and Pennsylvania to the south, and Connecticut, Massachusetts, and Vermont to the east; it has a maritime border with Rhode Island, east of Long Island, as well as an international border with the Canadian provinces of Quebec to the north and Ontario to the northwest. It is sometimes 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,^[11][12][13] and two-thirds of the state's population lives in the New York metropolitan area.^[14][15] NYC is home to the United Nations Headquarters,^[16] and has been described as the cultural,^[17][18] financial,^[19][20] and media capital of the world,^[21][22] as well as the world's most economically powerful city.^[23][19][24] The next five most populous cities in the state are Buffalo, Yonkers, Rochester, Syracuse, and the state capital of Albany.
New York has a diverse geography. The southern part of the state is in the Atlantic coastal plain and includes Long Island and several smaller associated islands, as well as New York City and the lower Hudson River Valley. The larger Upstate New York region comprises several ranges of the wider Appalachian Mountains, and the Adirondack Mountains in the northeastern lobe of the state. The north–south Hudson River Valley and the east–west Mohawk River Valley bisect these more mountainous regions. Western New York is part of the Great Lakes region and borders on the Great Lakes of Lake Ontario and Lake Erie, as well as Niagara Falls. The central part of the state is dominated by the Finger Lakes, a popular vacation and tourist destination.
