I can tell whoever made this quiz is from "upstate" New York. Which is the entire state except NYC. I'm so sick of having to say I'm from "New-York-Not-The-City" Great quiz thanks!

the Adirondaks rival any other mountain region in the country for beauty. I am surprised that the region was never made a national park, but it does have state park protection.

Similar status down south near the Catskills with Harriman State Park and it's an amazing temperate forest. It's a friendly camping area and amazing creeks.

Missed Manhattan because I got Long Island and Staten Island, and then fixated on answers with "Island" in the name. Roosevelt Island...no. Governor's Island...no. What else could there be? Didn't know IBM was based in New York.

Is it just me, or as these states quizzes easier than the country quizzes (for Americans at least)? Although the early country quizzes were also not too bad, so it might get more difficult with smaller, less notable states.

As I European I find them way harder than the countries quizzes. I only got 9 on this one and most of the ones I didn’t get does not even ring a bell. There is no chance I will ever get the badge without starting to cheat

Wasn't Yorkville the battle that turned the war around? At least according to Hamilton, where most people now get their rev war history from...

The battle of Yorktown was the last major battle in the war, but the song "Yorktown" does cover a significant amount of the second half of the war, since Hamilton's personal issues took up most of the first act.

Yorktown was ironically the site of major and pivotal battles in both the Revolutionary and Civil Wars. It is quite moving to go there and see the redoubts still intact, worn down by two and a half centuries of weather, but identifiable as to their purpose nonetheless.

I read the Trixie Belden books as a girl and got stuck on Sleepyside for the Ichabod Crane answer and almost didn't get it.

"Haudenosaunee", the actual name of the confederacy, should be accepted.

Native New Yorker. Never heard of Cooperstown. Lol. Then again those of us from the City haven't heard of a lot of small towns. The Adirondacks are beautiful though. Upstate is nice but landlocked.
