Is New York part of New England?

[Stargazer65]

Simple question...go!

 

[CAPSLOCK]

New England is a defined group of six states which does not include New York.

 

[luv2cheer92]

No

 

[leebee]

No... HARD NO... says this lifelong resident of Massachusetts or Maine!

 

[Karin1984]

Who is claiming it is?

 

[xjillianpaige]

nope.

 

[lynxstch]

I lived in Massachusetts for almost 46 years, and New York is NOT a part of New England. Why would anyone think it is?

Connecticut,Rhode Island, Massachusetts,Vermont, New Hampshire,Maine
That’s it- no New York

But I believe Rhode Island is part of Long Island….

 

[AppleDumpling]

No. Definitely not. It is part of the Mid-Atlantic region, which also includes New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware and Maryland.

Nope

 

[GAN]

Nope

Sorry ..but I’ve been told differently

 

[Moliphino]

100% no

 

[tinkerbellandpeterpan]

Absolutely not. Mid-Atlantic or part of the tri-state area.

 

[emchen]

No.

NY is part of the Tri-State region among which is CT (which is a part of New England). Maybe someone then assumed NY is too by law of transitive property / association.

You've been told incorrectly. Rhode Island is bordered by Massachusetts on the north and east and Connecticut on the west. It's southern border is the Atlantic Ocean. Long Island is part of New York, and doesn't even extend as far east as Rhode Island. Google it, check a map.

 

[Kathryn Merteuil]

I don't live in either of them, but I do NOT consider NY to be part of NE.

 

[TiggerTrigger]

I’ve had this actual argument with someone. They first tried to tell me that New England was the original 13 Colonies and anything in the northeast. They didn’t even realize that the colonies included states like Georgia, the Carolinas, and Virginia. They’d never even heard of “mid-Atlantic” states.

NY is part of two tri-state areas, NY/NJ/PA and NYC/NJ/CT

 

[LuvOrlando]

NY is its own sort of thing, the New England states have a different shared vibe.
