What part of NY is it in?  Eastern or Western?  If you specify I can add more to this post.

Actually i think you mean latitude and the 48 contiguous states lie above the 26th latitude with Florida thrusting its chad below the 26th latitude.  Peace\n\n96 points wow congratulations for getting started.  Answer some questions to get over 100.

It may have something to do with the fact that most major events in the United States' history took place on the East Coast.

>>WHERE IS THE GEOGRAPHIC CENTER OF THE UNITED STATES?   \n  \nThe geographic center of the conterminous U.S. (48 states) is near Lebanon, Kansas. The geographic center of the U.S. including Alaska and Hawaii is west of Castle Rock, South Dakota. The geographic center of the North American continent is 6 miles west of Balta, North Dakota. The geographic center of Illinois is Logan, 28 miles northeast of Springfield. \n\nSOURCE: \nThe World Almanac and Book of Facts 1998.

The total area of the United States (including the District of Columbia) is 9,629,047 sq km (3,717,796 sq mi), of which 1,593,440 sq km (615,230 sq mi) are in Alaska and 16,729 sq km (6459 sq mi) are in Hawaii. The total land area of the country is 9,158,918 sq km (3,536,278 sq mi). Inland, coastal, and Great Lakes bodies of water occupy 470,129 sq km (181,518 sq mi) of the total area. Measured along the parallel of latitude that passes through West Quoddy Head, Maine, the easternmost point in the United States, the maximum width of the conterminous 48 states is 4421 km (2747 mi). The maximum length measured from the vicinity of Brownsville, Texas, due north to the Canadian border is 2572 km (1598 mi). The boundaries of the United States extend along the Atlantic and Pacific oceans, along the Gulf of Mexico, and along land areas. The northern boundary is some 6420 km (some 3990 mi) long; the southern boundary, 3111 km (1933 mi); and the boundary between Alaska and Canada, some 2480 km (some 1540 mi). For the United States, the Atlantic coastline is 3330 km (2069 mi) long; the Pacific coastline, including Hawaii, 12,268 km (7623 mi); the Gulf of Mexico coastline, 2625 km (1631 mi); and the Arctic coastline of Alaska, 1706 km (1060 mi). Mount McKinley, or Denali (6194 m/20,320 ft), in Alaska, is the highest point in North America; Death Valley, a depression 86 m (282 ft) below sea level, in California, is the lowest point. The mean elevation of the United States is about 760 m (about 2500 ft) above sea level.

East:any travel direction that goes from left to right on a map is east.

Definitely ALASKA.\n\nFascinatingly, Alaska is the state that is farthest north, east, and west while Hawaii is farthest south. The reason that Alaska is farthest east and west is due to the fact that the Aleutian Islands cross the 180° meridian of longitude, placing some of the islands actually in the Eastern Hemisphere and thus degrees east of Greenwich (and the Prime Meridian).

east/west.\n\nto remember, longitutde has lines that are all as "long" as each other (one pole to the other.)

Mount Washington, the highest peak in the Northwestern U.S. is located in New Hampshire.  \n\nMount Washington, the highest peak in the northeastern U.S., attains an elevation of 6,288 feet above mean sea level, and is located at latitude 44° 16' N, longitude 71° 18' W.  It is in Sargents Purchase in Coös County, New Hampshire, at the heart of the White Mountain National Forest.  Originally called Agiocochook by native Americans, the mountain boasts some of the planet's most severe weather, and retains the world record for wind speed, 231 MPH.  The 52-acre Mount Washington State Park surrounds the summit, where visitors will find a multitude of old and modern buildings, once known as the 'City Among the Clouds'.

Gotta be Texas.  A VERY large portion of it is flat, and most of it is near sea level.

"East Pole" - where the "Land of the Rising Sun" is, i.e. JAPAN.\n"West Pole" - where the "Wild Wild West" is, i.e. Texas, US\nHee! Hee!

Up until relatively recently, one of the island chains belonging to the state of Alaska was technically on the other side of the International Date Line from the rest of the country. This meant that the islands were the furthest "east" someone could go (without crossing the date line), yet the state itself, generally speaking, was the furthest west land area of the political entity known as the United States of America. \n\nThe same thing happened with another small island group inthe south-central Pacific ... basically, one half of the country was on one side of the date line and the other half was on the other.\n\nThe date line was subsequently "jiggled", to keep those countries whose territories are in the vicinity of the date line to remain "on the same side".\n\nTherefore, (from the US perspective) Alaska is - at present - the WESTERNMOST state, and Maine is the EASTERNMOST (neglecting the off-shore protectorates of Puerto Rico and Guam).\n\nHowever, we ALSO need to look at how longitude is measured. "Eastward" occurs from the line of 0 longitude (approximately Greenwich England) and moves toward Europe and Asia. "Westward" occurs from the same starting point and moves west over the Atlantic and across North America. The line of longitude that is directly opposite from 0 would be 180 ... which happens to pass through Alaska. Thus Alaska could be both "eastern- and western-most"
