Arcadia (T)

New York is a state in the northeastern United States. It is called New York State when there is need to distinguish it from New York City. Because a significant majority of the population is concentrated in the southern portion around New York City, the state is often regionalized into Upstate and Downstate. New York is the home of Ellis Island, where many immigrants in the early 20th century arrived in the United States.

Arcadia is a town in Wayne County, New York, USA. The population was 14,889 at the 2000 census. The Town of Arcadia is on the south border of the county and is east of Rochester New York. The town history is first settled around 1791. The Town of Arcadia was formed from the Town of Lyons in 1825. An asylum for the mentally retarded was established in Arcadia in 1789. In 1957, the Bergen Swamp Preservation Society acquired Zurich Bog for conservation. The town has a total area of 135.0 square kilometers.

Arcadia is definitely one of the popular tourist attractions in New York worth paying a visit while touring the country. This place leaves a pleasing and unforgettable memory and justifies the proud cultural tradition of New York.
