Exploring Places in New York

New York State is home to many communities, each with its own unique character. These places can be cities, towns, villages, or even smaller areas called hamlets. This list focuses on places whose names begin with "I".

What is a County?

A county is a part of a state, like a big neighborhood. In New York, counties help organize local government and services. For example, Suffolk County is a large county on Long Island. Many of the places listed here are found within just one county.

Understanding ZIP Codes

A ZIP code is a five-digit number that helps the U.S. Postal Service sort and deliver mail. Every address in the United States has a ZIP code. When you see a ZIP code next to a place name, it tells you the main postal code for that area. Some places might not have a specific ZIP code listed because they are very small or are part of a larger area's postal service.
