Because of the preponderance of the population concentrated in the southern portion around NewYork City, the state is often regionalized into Upstate and Downstate.
While the state is best known for NewYork City's urban atmosphere, especially Manhattan's skyscrapers, most of the state is in fact dominated by farms, forests, rivers, mountains, and lakes.
Four of NewYork City's five boroughs are on the three islands at the mouth of the Hudson River: Manhattan Island, Staten Island, and Long Island.
