Actually, it is known as the Mid hudson Valley. Upstate is Rochester, Binghamtom, and Syracuse etc. But NYC folks think "Yonkers" is upstate, so go figure.

I don't understand why some people who definately live in "Upstate" New York have such a problem with defining where they live as such. Basically if you go outside of NYS and tell someone you are from "Upstate New York", they will know what you are talking about. Long Island is unique altogether, it's not upstate and it's not NYC but geographically/culturally close. To me anything north of the Bronx (even Westchester county) is considered Upstate New York. If it's north of New York City proper it is Upstate New York. I can understand people who live in Yonkers, White Plains, etc. would not consider themselves Upstaters (because that puts them in the same category as Rochester, Binghampton, Syracuse, Albany, Buffalo, etc.) but by my definition they are.

Strictly geographically speaking, are you correct....
What is Downstate to you? Just New York City and Long Island? Then why even use the term "Downstate", why not just say "NYC and Long Island"?
Upstate New York to me? Every place in New York State that does NOT revolve around NYC. Meaning what?
1. places that are NOT in the NYC media market
2. places that do NOT have many residents commuting to NYC for work
3. places that do NOT have the NYC area accents or attitude |

Totally and 100% agree. There is no other definition as far as I'm concerned. Calling Westchester Co. "upstate", is kind of like calling Maryland and Delaware "the south"...which, after having lived in NC for almost 13 years, I can say, it really isn't. |

upstate
i consider upstate anything north of the metropolitan area. So anything north of Rockland and Westchester.
It is not a science...but it is how i do it.

Bellazini,
I do not use the term "down state". Partially because it is only relative to where the person who uses it is located. What's down state to someone in Watertown might not be down state to someone in Syracuse. Plus if you go outside of NYS and say you are from "down state" New York, most people will not know what you are talking about. Whereas if you say "I'm from Upstate New York", they will realize you are not talking about the NY metro area. I still believe my definition of Upstate New York is the correct one. Anything north of NYC proper...even Westchester county. It seems to me that certain people have a stigma about being an "upstater", so they try to say they are not upstate because they live 45 minutes from New York county.

I considerate it Upstate, but you shouldn't look down upon it being called upstate. I hate the suburbs and wish it was more city- country city - country, instead of city - huge suburbs - country. =(
