	MSN Encarta - New York (city)
		New York (city), the largest city in the United States, the home of the United Nations, and the center of global finance, communications, and business.
		New York City is unusual among cities because of its high residential density, its extraordinarily diverse population, its hundreds of tall office and apartment buildings, its thriving central business district, its extensive public transportation system, and its more than 400 distinct neighborhoods.
		In 2000 the population of the city of New York was 8,008,278; the population of the metropolitan region was 21,199,865.

	Read the Prologue of The Battle for New York by Barnet Schecter
		By 1776, New York felt comfortable and familiar to them, offering the perfect mix of urban and rural pleasures: a cosmopolitan town with a full schedule of glittering social events either at the fine houses and taverns or at the exquisite country estates a short carriage ride to the north.
		In the battle for New York, the struggle on this interior landscape—the difficult and, in some cases, agonizing choice between king and country in the conscience of each individual—had its roots in political and religious conflicts that dated back to the founding of the colonies, and which came to a head in the 1750s.
		For a brief moment, however, in November of that year—after New York’s polite petitions to the king, the House of Lords, and the House of Commons were ignored—the city’s residents, dockhands and merchant princes alike, came together and took to the streets.

	Whitford's History of New York Canals, Vol. I, Introduction.
		It must not be inferred, however, that all these waterways were constructed on one continuous level, for it appears that the early canals of Egypt and China were adapted to the varying contours of the land, having a form of inclined plane for transferring boats to successive levels.
		New York, built in 1750, for transporting stone, by Lieutenant-Governor Cadwallader Colden, who in 1724, as Surveyor-General, had made the first report of the natural water communications of New York State.
		The first efforts were generally directed toward improving natural waterways, but, with their imperfect methods of controlling the flow of streams, the results were usually far from satisfactory, and the builders were forced to learn the necessity of following the rule, which the English had adopted, of constructing independent canals.

		The state has sued the New York Commissioner of Environmental Conservation to stop enforcement of emergency regulations that prevent Connecticut lobstermen from taking lobsters in the waters around Fishers Island.
		The New York regulation, as applied to these lobstermen, would prevent them from setting 1,700 pots from their allocation if they choose to fish around Fishers Island.
		Blumenthal filed suit previously against New York, in April 1998, after New York officials sent letters to Connecticut licensed lobstermen informing them that they would be violating state law if they placed commercial lobster pots in New York waters restricted to New York residents.
