Yes.
The Federalist Papers were written to the people of New York.
The Federalist Papers (and Anti-Federalist Papers) were addressed to the people of New York, where the constitutional debate was particularly fierce.
The Federalist Papers
Articles 1-10 were used to persuade the colonists to ratify the Constitution. The states wanted their rights written down on paper to prevent the government from taking them away later, so the Bill of Rights (amendments 1-10) were created and the original 13 colonies ratified the Constitution.

Hamilton wrote his 51 essays of the Federalist Papers, and devised the idea, because he was becoming increasingly worried over the fate of the new Constitution. New York was a battalion of anti-Federalists who were bent on not ratifying the Constitution. Hamilton wrote the Federalist Papers, with James Madison, to provide a breakdown of the Constitution and why it would protect people's rights. The Federalist of the Federalist Papers is NOT the same Federalist of the Federalist Party. Federalists in the Federalist Papers really just means someone who supports the Constitution.
The Federalist Papers were a series of papers anonymously written by Alexander Hamilton, James Madison, and John Jay that promoted ratification of the U.S. Constitution. Nine out of the thirteen states needed to ratify the Constitution in order for it to become the "law of the land" or legal. Therefore, these letters were meant to demonstrate the new Constitutions strengths and to persuade states to ratify it. The Federalist Papers were especially decisive in states like New York and Virginia where there was a lot of Anti-Federalist oppostion present. All in all, the Federalist Papers were successful helping the Constitution become ratified.
The immediate goal of the Federalist Papers was to gain popular support for the Constitution and to convince the New York legislature to ratify it.
The essays were addressed, "To the People of the State of New York." the fedreralist papers were written To support ratification of the Constitution.
The Federalist Papers were originally published as individual essays in three New York newspapers, the Independent Journal, the New York Packet, and the Daily Advertiser.

The Federalist Papers were written to get the Constitution ratified in the state of New York, were written for a New York audience, and published in New York. The Constitution had gone into effect before New York had ratified, but New York was crucial to the state of the country. It was this realization that led Alexander Hamilton, along with James Madison and John Jay, to write the Papers.
