EspañolTRI-STATE AREA
(Redirected from Tri-state Area)
There are a number of places in the United States known as 'tri-state areas' where three states or holdings meet at one point (a tripoint), or in proximity to each other. The two most well-known are for the New York and Chicago metropolitan areas.
The Tri-State Region around New York City is where New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut meet. There is no tripoint, however, as Connecticut does not touch New Jersey. Chicago's tri-state region includes Illinois, Indiana, and Wisconsin and is commonly referred to as Chicagoland. This tri-state region also does not have a tripoint since Indiana does not touch Wisconsin.
Other large metropolitan areas with a tri-state area include Cincinnati, Memphis, Philadelphia, and Washington, D.C.
The "Joplin District" Lead-Zinc Mining region of Oklahoma, Kansas and Missouri produced mineral specimens famous throughout the world know as "Tri-State" minerals.
There are 38 tripoints on land in the United States.[1] They are:
There are another 24 places where the tripoint is under water:
The following tri-state areas are also notable, but have no tripoint:

★ There are 8 tripoints between 1 US state and 2 Mexican states or 2 US states and 1 Mexican state.
