One of the original 13 colonies, New York played a crucial political and strategic role during the American Revolution. Fought in 1776, The Battle of Long Island, also known as the Battle of Brooklyn, was the first and largest battle to take place after the United States declared its independence from Great Britain.
On July 26, 1788, New York ratified the new U.S. Constitution and became the 11th state to join the Union. During the 19th century, New York City became the main entry point for European immigrants to the United States. The Statue of Liberty opened in 1886 and became a symbol of hope and freedom. New York boomed during the Roaring Twenties, and skyscrapers were erected in record numbers throughout the city.
On September 11, 2001 the worst terrorist attack in U.S. history occurred when two hijacked planes were crashed into the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center. In the wake of the aftermath, courageous New Yorkers raced into smoke, fire, and debris in lower Manhattan. In the face of unfathomable loss, an entire nation rose as one, demonstrating to the world our strength, fortitude, and resolve.
Enriched with prominent people, places, and landmarks, ‘The Empire State” is revered for its distinguished pride, indomitable character, and pioneering spirit. Whether your family settled here in previous centuries, or you’ve sunk your roots into this very special place, New York is a region with a proud heritage and enduring legacy!
