Kids Encyclopedia Facts

Sister cities are like international friends! They are cities, towns, or even counties that partner up with places in other countries. The main idea is to help people from different cultures connect, understand each other better, and work together.

In New York, many cities and towns have these special partnerships. They often work with an organization called Sister Cities International. This group helps cities around the world become "sisters" to promote peace and understanding.
