Which is correct New York State or New York state?

Answer 1

Both are correct; the "state" in New York State, like the "city" in New York City, are only included in the name so people don't get confused about which one you're referring to. Both have the same name, so the words "state" and "city" are added to distinguish between them, just like Washington state and Washington, D.C.

People often don't use the "state" and "city" when it's obvious which one you're referring to, for example, "the mayor of New York" or "the governor of New York." Only cities have mayors, and only states have governors, so in those cases, you don't need to say, "New York City" and "New York State."

It is New York State or the state of New York.

Answer 3

It is both. New York is a state in the United States, but New York is also the name of a city located in New York.
