History
The Northern District is a successor to the original District of New York, which was split into Northern and Southern Districts on April 9, 1814. The United States District Court for the District of New York was the first District Court ever convened under the sovereignty of the United States, with Judge
James Duane presiding on November 3, 1789. The Northern District was split again in 1900, giving rise to the
United States District Court for the Western District of New York. The first judge in the Northern District of New York was
Matthias Burnett Tallmadge. The district now covers thirty-two counties in upstate New York, with an extensive border with
Canada to the north.
