Talk:Tri-State Region
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
OK, # 1, I think most people call this the Tri-State Area (not the tri-state region). #2, the article introduces the concept of tri state area and says they exist in many states, but then talks solely about the NY-NJ-CT one. There is a link to the disambig but i recommend a name change. I am going to remove the info about other tri state areas as ppl can use the dismbig page. Bonus Onus 22:59, August 3, 2005 (UTC)
- I agree... I've lived here my whole live, and I've always called it the "Tri-State Area" and have rarely if ever heard "Tri-State Region" used... //MrD9 02:27, 19 March 2006 (UTC)
- Same here. I've never heard anyone call it the Tri-State Region, it's always the Tri-State Area. --128.205.80.141 12:07, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] merge to New York metropolitan area
This page should be a listing of all the tri-state regions that people talk about. New York metropolitan area should get all of the nyc stuff, simply because it's unambiguous and what most people say... (you never say, "I'm flying into the Tri-State Region" -- you say, "I'm flying into New York"). --Quasipalm 14:48, 23 September 2005 (UTC)
- This definately should be done. Or the article should at least be called "New York Tri-State Area" or something, since nobody uses the term tri-state region, anyway, and there are many more than just the NY/NJ/CT one... //MrD9 19:45, 25 March 2006 (UTC)
Yes, I agree as well. I actually have heard the tri-state more commonly refer to the area surrounding philadelphia, thus including pennsylvania, new jersey and delaware. This area not only has a high urban-suburban population, but shares a lot more in terms of mentality, society, etc. The fact that people and general area in southern jersey, delaware and philly/philly suburbs share so much in common is what unifies them into the "tri-state area"
NYC, jersey, and connecticut sort of have nothing to do with each other..other than that they are near each other. i.e. the people and societies aren't very unified.
[edit] Other tri state areas
- Shouldn't other Tri-State areas or regions, be listed though. Like where I'm from is the Tri-State of Sothern Indiana, Western Kentucky, and South Western Illinois. Its a pretty common term, and so it probably shouldn't be redirected just have a brief mention. Newbie222 03:19, 8 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Chicago area
For note on Chicago area tri-state region see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:United_States_metropolitan_area#Tri-State_Area
[edit] more than just fairfield and new haven counties......
I grew up in New London County, Connecticut. In school I was taught that all of Connecticut was part of the tri-state, and I see businesses that have, "Tri-State," as a prefix all over the county and the one to the north. What do you base inclusion on? --Lekogm 23:11, 15 October 2006 (UTC)
