It is bordered by the Canadian provinces of Ontario and Québec on the north and by Lake Ontario and Lake Erie on the northwest and west.
These provinces are: the Atlantic Coastal Plain, a subdivision of the Coastal Plain; the New England Upland province, the Piedmont Plateau, the Ridge and Valley province, the Appalachian Plateaus, the Adirondack province, and the St. Lawrence Valley province, all subdivisions of the Appalachian Region; and the Central Lowland, a sub-division of the Interior Plains.
The New England Upland province is composed of moderately rough, rolling land with smoothly rounded hilltops.
In 1777, New York's colonial charter was replaced by the Constitution of New York, 1777 and the English province became the independent state of New York, which fought for its independence from Britain in cooperation with the other twelve of the Thirteen Colonies.
The province was granted to James, Duke of York, before the capture of the New Netherland colony from the Dutch on September 12, 1664.
The Church of England was the established church of colonial New York, and the colony's seat of higher education, King's College (later Columbia University), was Anglican.
