New York Overview
New York, a state of the northeastern
United States with border with Canada in the west; 141,000
km2, 19.5 million residents (2011), of which 16%
are black. Capital: Albany. Joined the Constitution in 1788
as the 11th State. Nickname: The Empire State.
New York has in the 1900s. has been the second largest immigrant
state in the United States, surpassed only by California. Unlike
California and Texas, which both have a larger population, growth
has stagnated from approx. 1970, when the emigration of especially
many whites to Florida and other southern states has more than
offset a new, large immigration wave from Asia, the Caribbean and
Eastern Europe. The city of New York City (NYC) is 8.1 million
including the dominant center. The rest of the inhabitants live
especially in the cities along the transport corridor that follows
the Hudson and Mohawk rivers valley lowers from NYC in the SE via
Albany in the north to Rochester and Buffalo in the Great Lakes in
West. The line is very busy, especially of cars, but also on trains
and ships, and 4/5 of the population in NY
live here.
With a GDP of over 500 billion. New York's economy is so large
that in the United States it is surpassed only by California and in
the rest of the world by only a few countries. All economic sectors
are represented, but banking and insurance, as well as industry,
transport, trade, tourism and service, are highly ranked. The same
applies to the research and education sector, which includes a large
number of private universities and colleges, in addition to SUNY
(State University of New York) with departments in most major
cities.
Like the economy in general, the industry is broadly
composed. Since the Second World War, the heavy industry (iron and
steel industry, etc.) has declined, while various high-tech
industries have seen significant growth since the 1980s due to,
among other things, the heavy industry. federal and foreign
investment (Japan, Germany, Canada). The largest industries include
the graphic, electronics and computer and aerospace industries; In
addition, there is a large production of industrial machinery,
clothing, leisure equipment, pharmaceuticals and chemicals. In NYC's
northern suburbs, the headquarters of IBM, Texaco and PepsiCo, while
one of the largest non-metropolitan groups is Eastman
Kodak in Rochester.
54% of the area is covered by forests, but the timber industry is
of little importance. The woodlands, which are mainly found in
the Adirondack Mountains in the north and the south of the lying
Catskill Mountains (west of the Hudson River), in turn are popular
excursion sites. Near the highest point, Mt. Marcy (1629 m),
lies Lake Placid, which in 1932 and 1980 hosted the Winter
Olympics. Agriculture occupies almost 30% of the area and is
dominated by dairy farming as well as fruit growing and
horticulture. Add to this a growing wine production in eastern Long
Island and in the scenic Finger Lakes region of the western
highlands (part of the Appalachians). The climate is rainy and
continental with great variations from north to south. Major tourist
destination outside NYC is Niagara Falls.
Wine
2% of US wine is produced in New York. Production takes place on
Long Island and on the mainland in, among other places. The Finger
Lakes region. The main grapes are chardonnay for the white
wines and cabernet sauvignon and merlot for the
reds. The wines are in demand in the city of New York, and prices
are quite high. The best wines are of good quality.
History
In 1609 Henry Hudson explored for the Dutch the river named after
him, and where they built the colonies of Fort Orange (Albany) and
Nieuw Amsterdam in 1624-26; the latter was conquered by the English
in 1664 and renamed New York. As part of the Anglo-French rivalry,
the English colonists entered into an alliance with the Iroquois
League against France in 1692. But also in relation to the
motherland, conflicts arose as from the beginning of the 1700s. was
increasing aversion in America to the English tax print, and in the
1760s New York became the leader in this protest. In 1776, the
provincial congress declared New York independent, and although the
city of New York during the American Revolution occupied by the
British, the state was one of the strongest bastions of the
rebels. In 1797 the capital was moved from New York to Albany, and
with the opening of the Erie Canal in 1825 and the expansion of the
railways in the 1840s, the development in the less accessible
northern and western parts of the state was furthered.
