▲Ithaca
Ithaca is a city in the Southern Tier-Finger Lakes region of New York. It is the seat of Tompkins County, as well
as the largest community in the Ithaca-Tompkins County metropolitan area. This area contains the municipalities of
the Town of Ithaca, the village of Cayuga Heights, and other
towns and villages in Tompkins County. The city
of Ithaca is located on the southern shore of Cayuga Lake, in Central New York. It is named for the Greek island of Ithaca.
Ithaca is home to Cornell University,
an Ivy League school of over 20,000 students, most of whom study
at its local campus. Ithaca College is located
just south of the city in the Town of Ithaca, adding to the area's "college town" atmosphere. Nearby is Tompkins
Cortland Community College (TC3). These three colleges bring tens of
thousands of students who increase Ithaca's seasonal population during the
school year. Some students settle in the area after graduation. The city's
voters are notably more liberal than those in the remainder of Tompkins County
or in upstate New York, generally voting for Democratic Party
candidates.
