How is New York a city and a State?

The orginial name of new York City was new Amsterdam. I guess they decided to call the state after new York state. York is a place in England that's why so many states and cities have names like new York or New Hampshire, new Orleans, new Jersey

[USLegionary]

If we built a city on Mars named after new York we would call it NEW New York

That is retarded it’s like Mexico and Mexico City like really? They couldn’t think of a more original name?

It makes more sense than Kansas City, Missouri, or Michigan City, Indiana.

At least New York City is actually IN the state that it shares a name with.

I'm from upstate Ny. It's alright.

I love Northern Ny and brag about it because I'm from there. But I really don't care for it.

New York city is a city in the state of New York.

[PainusNdeeAnus]

That’s kinda lazy don’t you think?

[DubiousIntentions]

No, New York City is in the state of chaos.
