Staten Island is perhaps the borough in New York that most closely resembles a suburb, not just because of its distance from the city, but also because it is the least densely populated. As Staten Island’s population is the smallest, it may seem to the outside observer that it’s small in area. In actuality, if it were a city, Staten Island would be the 16th largest in the country.
Sitting at the mouth of the Hudson River, Staten Island is the southernmost point in New York State, and is one of the most strategically placed military points in New York and New England. In light of that, Staten Island’s history is quite storied, especially during the revolutionary war period. Staten Island’s colorful history helps to shape the borough we now call home.
