Rockland

County that technically falls within the NY metro area yet few people in the NYC boros or the prime suburbs (Westchester/LI) really know where it is or what it is like. For that matter, few people even really care. Besides Nyack, there is really nothing to write home about in Rockland at all, a quality shared with the neighboring state of New Jersey. Unlike its big brother across the Hudson, Westchester, it really has no "range" at all, just a collection of nondescript suburbs, whereas Westchester is urban, rural, and everything in between. Rockland unlike the other suburbs has no history with NYC at all.

What a bourgeois place to live

A county in NY that everyone except itself seems to regard as part of a depressed region known as Upstate New York. While that may not be entirely accurate, Rockland county is an outer-suburban wasteland, not even on par with Westchester in terms of wealth and urbanization (as sad as that sounds.) However, it does have some Sopranos fame; Ralph Cifaretto's head was buried in Sloatsburg and Adriana was whacked by Silvio in a forest in Ramapo.

Rockland is literally and figuratively between Jersey and Upstate, though not quite either.

Rockland

Rockland is upstate because
1) It is west of the Hudson
2) It was once part of Orange County
3) It was "red" in the 2004 Presidential Election

Anything other than NYC, LI, and Westchester is upstate.

Located 15 minutes outside of NYC. Thats about where it ends. People in Rockland brag that they are "part" of the city, but in reality they are a bunch of townies. They all live in little towns with no sidewalks. Most of the people there are inbred, or just plain ol' retarded. They try comparing themselves to westchester and L.I. but dont understand that nobody cares what they say, and that at heart they are upstate townies.

Townie "Yo im from Rockland"
City Guy "where the f*ck is that"
Townie "You know not far from the gw bridge"
City Guy " Does it took like I care, you upstater"

Rockland

The Bronx was once part of Westchester.
Nassau was once part of Queens.
Rockland was once part of Orange Co.
Ergo, Rockland is upstate.

"I live in Coney Island, and that Rockland place 50 miles north of me is definitely *NOT* upstate, but that Orange County place which is 60 miles north of me definitely is!" -the way Rocklanders want New York City residents to think

In the Bronx, anything north of Yonkers is upstate. (OK maybe Hartsdale, but thats it)
