6th! The year in parentheses is when there were permanent setterlers, and New York is 6th
However, It was the 11th state to ratify the United States Constitution, on July 26, 1788.

New Hampshire (1622) - Originally part of Maine, then a colony from 1629 until annexed by Massachusetts, 1641-1643. Became a seperate colony again in 1679.
Pennsylvania (1623) - Originally settled by Dutch and Swedes. Came under English control in the 1664 and was granted to William Penn by Charles II in 1681.
