List of armories and arsenals in New York City and surrounding counties

This is a comprehensive list of armories and arsenals in New York City and surrounding counties of New York (i.e., in the New York metropolitan and downstate New York areas).

This list details the structures built between the 18th and 20th century. Many armories were constructed during this period; a few have since disappeared over time, while others have been converted to different uses. Through the decades these structures have been referred to under various names, and this catalog attempts to capture their identity. The list is arranged as follows:

The first unit; street (of reference); region or neighborhood (if referred to as such); year built; address; and name of neighborhood where available.
