New+York

New York By: ORS  I. History These are some facts telling the general information about New York. New York's state nickname is known commonly as the Empire state. The state's motto is Excelsior which means "ever upward."New York’s state flower is the rose and the state's bird is the Blue bird. On July 9, 1776, the state of New York declared its independence. New York applied for statehood on July 26, 1788.

There are a lot of historic events that took place in New York. In 1777 during the Revolutionary war the first election of governor was taking place. Two candidates were generals in the field. Their names were George Clinton and Philip Schuyler. The other two were Colonel John Jay and General John Morin Scott. These two were leaders of aristocratic and democratic groups. On July 9, George Clinton was elected governor of state. Another historic event is on January 1797, Albany became the capital of the state. On July 4, 1884 France presented the United States with the statue of liberty. On April 30, 1789 George Washington was inaugurated in New York which then became the capital of the union. My last historic event about New York is the Erie Canal. In1825 the Erie Canal caused the New York port to increase its importance. Those are just some of the many historic events.

My whole reason for coming to New York was that I was born there. I would like to go and see my family and look for ideas of where to visit. I would like to go to near by amusement parks. Dairen Lake is a popular theme park around there. I also think it would be neat to see my favorite sport teams. The HSBC arena is the home of the Buffalo Sabre's hockey team. I would like also to go ice skating at Rockefeller plaza. I would also like to go to for my last reason I would like to go is that some of my uncles talk about going to cool museums. Like the Metropolitan Museum of art. Those are the reasons I chose New York.
