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] Minneso-WHAT?

Am I missing something or is the frequent inclusion of Minnesota as the third state a total botch-up? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.45.8.125 (talk) 16:20, 14 May 2008 (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.

You sound like you are from Philly. The 3 states have a lot to do with each other and even more so after 9-11. People in Fairfield are not rich because they happen to be. So many people don't live in western CT and NJ because they are cool places. It all revolves around NYC. Without that place, NJ and CT would be like - Maine!--71.235.81.39 23:17, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

[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)
  • I agree -- done. --Quasipalm 19:30, 11 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)

I am shocked to hear that from out that way. New London is not typically associated iwht the tri-state since it is so far away. I don't mind it if you join. The more the merrier!--71.235.81.39 23:19, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Tri-state area/ region/ point

If it's true that there are other areas that call themselves "The Tri-State Area," then there should be a disambig page called "Tri-State Area" with links to the individual areas. If it's true (as I suspect) that the term usually refers to the NY Metro Area, then it should redirect to that page.

Unfortunately the "Tri-State Area" page is currently occupied by a page that discusses state tri-points, not the regions around them. I've posted a simiar comment on their talk page.

Finally, this page, "Tri-State Region," should be about the general concept of metro areas composed of the parts of three states, regardless of their names, since we all agree that no one from the Tri-State Area calls it "the tri-state region."

Makes sense?Armandtanzarian 21:54, 1 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] A joke, troll...?

I don't believe the following to be accurate or worthy of an enciclopedic posting:

"The term is heavily used in advertising, and is commonplace in commercials for car dealerships.

Other people commonly considered intelligent consider the Tri-State Area to comprise 3 states as the term suggests, much like New England. Those states are New York, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey. The first person to correctly define this term was Kyle Webber."

Should this be eliminated? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.0.26.100 (talk) 00:39, 13 September 2007 (UTC)
