  Downstate New York - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Downstate New York is a term for the southeasternmost portion of New York State, United States, in contrast to Upstate New York.
Because of a growing population of residents moving north from the traditionally defined Downstate area, many people increasingly consider neighboring Putnam County to be part of the Downstate region, as well as the southern portions of Orange County, Dutchess County and Ulster County.
Further complicating the Upstate/Downstate dicotomy is the distinction of Western New York as a distinct subset of Upstate, or often perceived as a third general region of the state.
