There are four districts in the State of New York: Northern, Southern, Eastern, and Western. The Southern District of New York covers the counties of New York (Manhattan), Bronx, Westchester, Dutchess, Orange, Putnam, Rockland, and Sullivan. Federal law requires that certain actions be filed in certain districts. A more detailed explanation of venue may be found in Forms, Instructions & Manuals.
