New York ratified the 1787 United States Constitution on July 26th, 1788 where the state capitol today resides in Albany.

The official motto of New York is “Excelsior,” a Latin word meaning “ever upward” and a rallying cry for New Yorkers to strive for excellence and progress. The motto dates back to the late 18th century and was inscribed on the Great Seal of the State of New York when it was adopted in 1778. The phrase has since become a symbol of New York’s ambition and resilience. It was also the inspiration for the state’s official song, “I Love New York,” which was written by former New York Governor Hugh Carey in 1977.
