I always wondered why New York isn't included in New England. It certainly sounds as if it should be.

@bitterblue - York is a city in England, so it's reasonable to guess that New York might be a city in New England. But it isn't.

New York was founded by the dutch and was called New Amsterdam before England reclaimed the land and the name stuck. Not technically one of the first english colonies, but it has ties.

As a New Yorker, I know for a fact that New York is not apart of New England. First of All, It is Larger than all of them. Second of all it is South of them. The Upper Atlantic states are considered to be a part of New England, The Middle Atlantic states (New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, and Maryland), are below New England. Therefore, New York is not a part of New England. Also we don't classify ourselves to be New Englanders.

And the only one-syllable state of the 50. It's physically as big as the other 5 put together, so no need to compensate by making it sound longer.

Fun fact for you: Rhode Island may be the smallest state, but it has the longest official name — The State of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations.

Recently, however, the “and Providence Plantations” was dropped from the name.

No, it's not. New England was named as such in the 1620s, at a time when New York was still part of the Dutch colony New Netherland. The English didn't get their paws on it until the late 1660s.

I used to teach the US states to fourth-graders. Our trusty social studies textbook divided the states into convenient regions. New York was in the Middle Atlantic States, which always seemed like a bit of a stretch. Anyway, New York isn't in New England. All one must do is listen to people's accents to figure that out.
