Staten Island, Borough and island in New York City, US
The Staten Island occupies 151.5 square kilometers at the entrance of New York Harbor, separated from New Jersey and Brooklyn by waterways.
The Dutch parliament named the land Staten Eylandt in 1661, which later became one of the five counties of New York in 1683.
The Staten Island Museum exhibits local art collections, natural science specimens, and historical artifacts that represent the region's development through centuries.
The Staten Island Ferry operates every day without charge, connecting St. George Terminal to Lower Manhattan with views of the harbor.
The former Fresh Kills Landfill transforms into a 890-hectare park with wetlands, featuring walking paths and environmental education programs.
