Ithaca, New York

This article is about the City of Ithaca and the region. For the legally distinct town which itself is a part of the Ithaca metropolitan area, see Ithaca (town), New York. For other places or objects named Ithaca, see Ithaca (disambiguation). The City of Ithaca (named for the Greek island of Ithaca) sits on the southern shore of Cayuga Lake, in Central New York State. It is best known for being home to Cornell University — an Ivy League school with almost 20,000 students (most of them studying on Cornell’s Ithaca campus). While Ithaca College is located just south of the city in the Town of Ithaca, the college is strongly linked to the city further adding to Ithaca’s strong “college town” focus and atmosphere.
