The current US State of New York, was one of the original 13 American-British colonies, ( Vermont was part of NY for a time ).Thus when the NY delegates ratified the US Constitution, they became a vital States within the USA. In a general sense, the question inaccurately speaks of acquiring as if somehow New York was an element that was acquired. The question would make more sense if it asked when did New York join the United States.
