New+York

By:B.K per. 3 __**//I. History and State Information //**__ 
 * New York **

New York has a terrrific and devastating historic events. One of New York"s historic facts is there independence. On July 9,1776 New York declares its independence after being apart of the Great Britain colony for over a century. Next, George Clinton was declared govenor on July 30,1777. Then, president Grover Cleavland dedicated the Statue of Liberty on October 28,1886 when the last rivot was put into place. Also, New York City became the first capital of the new nation. President George Washington was inaugurated on April 30,1789. Then, Albany became the capital of New York in 1797. Last, the 110-story Twin Towers(a.k.a World Trade Center) were destroyed in one of the most horrible terrorist attacks in U.S history on 9-11-02.
 * New York is a state full of fun facts. It's nickname is the "Empire State." The motto is nothing the less "Excelsior." New York applied for statehood on July 26, 1788 and was the 11th state joined. It's flower is the one and only...Rose. There birds is the beautiful Bluebird.

New York is full of opportunity and exciting adventures. It has the "Big Apple" which is better known as New York City. There are so many things to do, like go to Broadway and see a show. You walk around Central Park in the middle of the city, or ice skate around the christmas tree in Rockerfeller which Park was to be set up and decorated by December 12, 2009. Wow no wonder some people call it "The city that never sleeps." Another thing to do is see the Statue of Liberty located on Ellis Island. Some beautiful places would be Finger Lakes and Chautauqua-Allegheny. These places are great for sight seeing and to just get some fresh air. If you want to go to a place for adventure and outside activity go to the Adirondacks. It is a gorgeous area to go skiing and tubingalong with site seeing. A place that I personally think has the best site seeing is Niagra Falls. It is gorgeous with the water fall dividing Canada and New York. As you can see New York is full of adventurous opportunities.**
