About New York County Map

New York, situated in the northeastern US, is nothing less than world-famous. The state is most famous for the existence of its lively New York City (NYC), which is the leading financial and cultural hub of not only the state but the whole country. New York State is the third most populated state in the nation, with a population of 19,651,127, and New York City houses around 40 percent of this population. The State of New York has also been named the Empire State for its abundance of money, resources, and diversity. New York City is most noted for being the most significant gateway for migration to the US. New York City seems to attract significantly more foreign tourists as compared to other US cities.

The New York State is bounded by Pennsylvania and New Jersey to the south, Vermont, Massachusetts, and Connecticut to the east. It has some maritime borders with Rhode Island and shares international boundaries with the Canadian provinces, i.e., Quebec to the north and Ontario to the north and west.
