Why AppWT for New York
Downstate and upstate New York are close to separate markets. AppWT builds New York City sites for a dense, crowded field and upstate sites for Buffalo, Rochester, Syracuse and Albany buyers, all from its Livonia, Michigan office. AppWT has no New York office. It travels to New York clients on request, by car or by air.
The Empire State, Upstate and Down
New York was the most populous state from the 1810s until 1962. It holds 62 counties, five of them the boroughs of New York City, and the state itself uses ten economic regions. Adirondack Park, protected as forever wild since 1894, is larger than several national parks combined, and Niagara Falls State Park, opened in 1885, is the oldest state park in the country. Small businesses were 99.8 percent of the firms in the state in 2025. Only one of the three NFL teams with New York in its name, the Buffalo Bills, plays inside the state.
Hudson, Erie and the Empire State
Iroquoian and Algonquian nations held the region for thousands of years. Giovanni da Verrazzano entered New York Bay on April 17, 1524, and Henry Hudson reached the Upper Bay on September 11, 1609. Dutch trading posts followed at Fort Nassau near present-day Albany in 1614, Fort Orange in 1624 and Fort Amsterdam in 1625, which became New Amsterdam and then New York City.
The state drew more visitors than any other in 2022. Times Square, Central Park, Niagara Falls and Grand Central Terminal were all among the ten most visited attractions in the world in 2013. The I Love New York campaign has run since 1977. Lake Placid hosted the Winter Olympics in 1932 and 1980, Cooperstown keeps the Baseball Hall of Fame, and the United Nations has its headquarters in New York City.

What Keeps New York Busy
Finance comes first, anchored by Wall Street, and tourism had become the second largest industry by 2025, supporting one job in ten. Midtown Manhattan is identified as the largest central business district in the world. Technology runs along Silicon Alley and Tech Valley, and manufacturing ranges from printing and garments in the city to railroad equipment, auto parts and buses upstate.
- New York ranks among the top five states for maple syrup, apples, cherries, cabbage, dairy, onions and potatoes.
- About a quarter of the land is farmland, and the Lake Ontario shore carries apple, cherry, plum, pear and peach orchards.
- Vineyards grow in the Finger Lakes, the Hudson Valley, the North Fork and along Lake Erie.
- A saltwater fishery off Long Island lands clams, lobsters, squid and flounder.
