Historic areas in the United States National Park System

National Historic Sites, National Historic Parks, National Memorials, and certain other areas listed in the National Park system are historic landmarks of national importance that are highly protected already, often before the inauguration of the NHL program in 1960. There are 20 of these in New York State. The legislation establishing the National Historic Landmark program does not prevent these from being designated, but in practice these are not often named NHLs ''per se'', due to administrative costs of their nomination and to the low preservation value of designating them. For the first 16 years of the National Historic Landmarks program, the National Park Service did not consider any sites already within the National Park system for NHL designation, and in fact if a NHL-designated site came into the NPS system it was de-designated. In New York State, the

The National Park Service identifies 18 historic sites within national park units in New York State, and lists these together with the NHLs in the state,These are listed on p.114 of ''National Historic Landmarks Survey: List of National Historic Landmarks by State'', referenced above. and there are also two National Historic Sites that are "affiliated areas," receiving National Park Service support but not directly administered by it.The National Park Service provides technical and financial assistance to two "affiliated areas" in New York specifically authorized by Congress:
