New York, also calledNew York State, is astate in thenortheastern United States. Bordered byNew England to the east,Canada to the north, andPennsylvania andNew Jersey to the south, its territory extends into both theAtlantic Ocean and theGreat Lakes. New York is thefourth-most populous state in the United States, with nearly 20 million residents, and the27th-largest state by area, with a total area of 54,556 square miles (141,300 km2).
New York hasa varied geography. The southeastern part of the state, known asDownstate, encompassesNew York City, themost populous city in the United States;Long Island, with approximately 40% of the state's population, the nation's most populous island; and the cities, suburbs, and wealthy enclaves of the lowerHudson Valley. These areas are the center of the expansiveNew York metropolitan area and account for approximately two-thirds of the state's population. The largerUpstate area spreads from theGreat Lakes toLake Champlain and includes theAdirondack Mountains and theCatskill Mountains (part of the widerAppalachian Mountains). The east–westMohawk River Valley bisects the more mountainous regions of Upstate and flows into the north–southHudson River valley near thestate capital ofAlbany.Western New York, home to the cities ofBuffalo andRochester, is part of theGreat Lakes region and bordersLake Ontario andLake Erie.Central New York is anchored by the city ofSyracuse; between the central and western parts of the state, New York is prominently featured by theFinger Lakes, a popular tourist destination. To the south, along the state border with Pennsylvania, theSouthern Tier sits atop theAllegheny Plateau, representing some of the northernmost reaches ofAppalachia.
New York was one of the originalThirteen Colonies that went on to form the United States. The area of present-day New York had been inhabited by tribes of theAlgonquians and theIroquois ConfederacyNative Americans for several thousand years by the time the earliest Europeans arrived. Stemming fromHenry Hudson's expedition in 1609, theDutch established the multiethnic colony ofNew Netherland in 1621.England seized the colony from the Dutch in 1664, renaming it theProvince of New York. During theAmerican Revolutionary War, a group of colonists eventually succeeded in establishing independence, and the state ratified the then newUnited States Constitution in 1788. From the early 19th century, New York's development of its interior, beginning with the construction of theErie Canal, gave it incomparable advantages over other regions of the United States. The state built its political, cultural, and economic ascendancy over the next century, earning it the nickname of the "Empire State". Althoughdeindustrialization eroded a portion of the state's economy in the second half of the 20th century, New York in the 21st century continues to be considered as a global node ofcreativity andentrepreneurship,social tolerance, andenvironmental sustainability.

She began painting in earnest at the age of 78 and is a prominent example of a newly successful art career at an advanced age. Moses gained popularity during the 1950s, having been featured on a cover ofTime Magazine in 1953. She was a subject of numerous television programs and of a 1950 Oscar-nominated biographical documentary. Her autobiography, titledMy Life's History, was published in 1952. She was also awarded twohonorary doctoral degrees.
Moses was a live-in housekeeper for a total of 15 years, starting at age 12.

Moses and her husband began their married life in Virginia, where they worked on farms. In 1905, they returned to the Northeastern United States and settled inEagle Bridge, New York. They had ten children, five of whom survived infancy. She embroidered pictures with yarn, until disabled by arthritis. (Full article...)
