Where is Florida, New York?

Which one? Unless you're from New York, you may never have heard of any other place called Florida but the one attempting to dodge the hurricanes each year, but with hurricanes and other geographically challenged natural disasters wandering off course of late, those New Yorkers living in the Town of Florida or the Village of Florida, NY may be seriously rethinking the whole Florida theme. For a closer look at just where these two Floridas in New York are, let's go to the map.

Florida, New York

Like Florahome, FL - both places are a fair distance from the coast and should not get the brunt of any storm making landfall in the area, but even inland, it's always best to be prepared. The following map is of the Warwick, NY Village of Florida (upper left-hand corner) located in Orange County, NY and though close enough to the Big Apple to enjoy, it's still far enough away to go back home and pick one.

Just up the road from Schenectady, the New York 'Town of Florida' in Montgomery County is even further inland and also like Florahome, may have a bit more in common with the agricultural part of the state than the city or the coast. By the way, if any of you guys up that way happen to read this, send us a postcard or photo - the one at the top of this post isn't fooling anybody.
