The New York State seal is the same as the flag, but in a seal. The goddess Justice, symbolizes freedom before the law. She is shown with a blindfold over her eyes, and is also holding the scales of justice in her left hand. The goddess Liberty, who symbolizes freedom, holds a pole with a liberty cap, which symbolizes freedom from Britain after the Revolutionary War. There is a shield between them, which has a picture of the Hudson Highland, the sun, and two sail boats sailing on the Hudson River. Over the shield is a globe, showing the western hemisphere, and a bald eagle. Under the sheild, is a curving ribbon that reads "Excelsior," which is New york's state motto that means "ever upwards."

The southern tip of NewYork State—New York City, its suburbs, and the southern portion of the Hudson Valley—can be considered to form the central core of a "megalopolis," a super-city stretching from the northern suburbs of Boston to the southern suburbs of Washington and therefore occasionally called "BosWash".
NewYork was heavily glaciated in the ice age leaving much of the state with deep, fertile, though somewhat rocky soils.
Albany and southeast-central NewYork are heavily Irish-American.
