New York Real Estate
A state of the northeast United
States. It was admitted as one of the original Thirteen Colonies in
1788. First explored by Samuel de Champlain and Henry Hudson, the
region was claimed by the Dutch in 1624 but fell to the English in
1664-1667. The building of the Erie Canal and railroad lines in the
1820s and 1830s led to development of the western part of the state
and great economic prosperity, establishing New York City as the
financial center of the nation. Albany is the capital and New York
City the largest metropolis. Population: 18,044,505.
