New York City |
 | | New York City is at the heart of the New York metropolitan area with a population of around 21 million, which itself is part of the so-called BosWash megalopolis extending from Boston to Washington, DC, a core economic region of the nation with a population of approximately 44 million people. |
 | | Prior to 1898, New York City consisted of Manhattan and the Bronx, which was annexed by the city from southern Westchester County in two separate actions: the western portion in 1874, and the remaining portion in 1895. |
 | | New York City is served by the publicly-run City University of New York (CUNY), the largest urban university in the United States, which has a number of campuses throughout the five boroughs. |
