Also try the encyclopedias like Britannica, world book, etc at your school or local library, or do a search on google or yahoo, and just type in new york state. Ask a librarian to help you locate some materials would also be a good idea. Some encyclopedias are available in CD-ROM format on the library's computer and you can print out the results

The station now is no longer used.
