I always thought that the boundry line was the Mohawk River.
I found out last year that it is a line,roughly parralell to the river,but a mile or so North of it.Communities on the river are Downstate.
As for Me,I'm Downstate;Orange County(due South from Ulster County),in the Hudson Highlands.

I sure hope that there are for those that are looking. At my age it serves the same purpose as a dog chasing a car. What are you going to do if you catch it?

I'd agree with that, though where i am currently everyone considers this area 'upstate' and where I hail from originally 'north'

I was born in NY State in 1939 and left there for Florida in 1978.

I lived in Monroe, in Orange county and everyone I knew considered everything north of New York City to be "Upstate."

We were far from the way of life in New York City.

Nassau County on LI here. I have 59 acres straddling the Ulster/Sullivan county lines though. I love upstate NY but unfortunately NY is getting more and more Liberal. Any State that repeatedly elects Hillary as senator is way too Liberal to me. After living here all my 56 years, I'm getting out when I retire and moving to a more Conservatine state. Anyone want to buy 59 acres in about 2 years?

[Dan22]

JeepJeep,

Taxes and liberal attitudes are why I left NY.

I knew many shady people who had no trouble getting pistol permits but I didn't have a judge in my pocket so I never tried to get one.

Here in Florida it's a pleasure to be able to buy a pistol for protection.

That is, unless you live where the subways run.

To people who live on Manhattan and Long Island, "upstate" starts at 125th Street. Or is that 'New York' ends at 125 Street and the wilderness starts there?

Well, I've lived on LI my whole 55 years and to me upstate starts in Westchester and Rockland Counties and north from there.

Yes, I Googled "Upstate New York" and found several sites that said.......

"Upstate New York is the region of New York State north of the core of the New York metropolitan area."

So, like I said originally, I lived in Monroe which is in Orange County, which is in Upstate NY.

Even George Washington referred to the Pine Bush area as Upstate NY.

Millbrook area of Dutchess county. Oh my God Mary Tyler Moore lives just over the hill...

Well I am finally in new york, been here about a week now. I really like it out here so far, the hunting seasons and the way the tags and licenses are run is a bit odd. However it is very beautiful out here, I feel right at home here. Just wanting to see a bear now, guess I will have to go a litte further west from Ft.Drum. Looks like fishing is really big out here aswell. Can't wait to find out when I deploy so I can dive into some of the fishing out here.

Binghamton Ny here!!!!!

[MilkMan]

I consider Middletown poughkipse(not correct spelling) area to be the up/down state boundry

[Cyrano]

In Putnam County we consider Westchester County and points south east of the Hudson to be 'downstate.'

Around here,OCC stands for Orange County Community College.
That's usually the only way that it's referred to.
