New York is the nation's third most populous state. New York is often referred to as New York State to distinguish it from New York City. New York City, which is geographically the largest city in the state and most populous in the United States, is known for its history as a gateway for immigration to the United States and its status as a financial, cultural, transportation, and manufacturing center.  Both state and city were named for the 17th century Duke of York, James Stuart, future James II and VII of England and Scotland. About one third of all of the battles of the Revolutionary War took place in New York. New York became an independent state on July 9, 1776, and enacted its constitution in 1777. The state ratified the United States Constitution on July 26, 1788 to become the 11th state. ( via Wikipedia ) Capital: Albany                         ...
