IBM used to be headquartered in Manhattan. Then they decided that Manhattan might be nuked by the Soviets, and it would be in the interest of the USA that IBM survive, so they moved upstate.

IBM has an interesting history. Read "The Maverick and his Machine", by Maney, about Watson Sr. Another interesting book, almost all technical, is "IBM's Early Computers" by Bashe et al... some very weird architectures!
