The border between Vermont and New York was unclear/disputed for many years. That area of New York was considered New England. You are not a historian.

But having grown up in New England, I do think most of us would include NY. New York Yankees anyone?
As a southerner, I can tell you that Yankees refers to anyone from the north, not just New England.
And no New Englander wants to be associated with the New York Yankees!

Everyone here is wrong. Genealogists consider it part of New England, FYI.
