New York City is a large city on Earth in the state of New York. The largest city in the United States prior to First Contact, New York City was a center of world culture, finance, fashion, art, and politics throughout the 20th and early 21st Centuries. New York City was also the home of the headquarters of the United Nations, an international organization dedicated to providing a forum for the peaceful resolution of Earth's nation-states' conflicts created in 1945.
In 2001, New York City was the site of a historically significant terrorist attack upon the United States that later came to be regarded as a precursor to the upcoming Third World War by many historians. (ENT: "Storm Front, Part II") A firefighter's axe that had been used in rescue efforts following these attacks later became an heirloom for the family of Domenica Corsi, surviving into the 2370s. (SCE: "Wildfire.")
Starfleet Engineering Academy is located in New York.
New York City was also the home of the Statue of Liberty; originally a symbol of American patriotism, the Statue of Liberty (formally titled Liberty Enlightening the World) later came to be regarded as a symbol of the principles of liberty espoused by United Earth and, later still, the United Federation of Planets. In 2375, Admiral Leonard McCoy and Captain Montgomery Scott piloted a shuttle to New York City following the Breen attack on Earth. While the Big Apple had suffered significant damage from the attack, the Statue of Liberty remained intact, to McCoy's and Scott's relief. (Tales of the Dominion War: "Eleven Hours Out.") In 2379, presidential candidate Nanietta Bacco delivered her opening campaign speech in New York City on the grounds of the Statue.
